I feel like im waiting for an urgent email saying ok chrissy today's the day lol...constantly looking up the same stuff about labor and how to start it naturally lol I have nothing to do at home anymore so I cant get my mind off it! Eeeek...praying she comes soon

I am 39+5. And as of my appointment today I am only 50% effaced... Not dialated at all!! I feel like throwing a temper tantrum... I just want my body back... I am so uncomfortable and downright cranky! And I definitely feel like a ticking time bomb... The waiting is terrible!!

I have to do a c-section and my date got moved to the 31st of March from the 2nd of April. I still think that my body is getting ready for labor. Every day I feel like there's one more thing to check off the list, lightening (even with twins), increased bm, painful back cramps, I don't know if there's an increase in the hormones near labor that make you emotional but I've been a wreck crying all day. It's such a mind game the closer you get!

Lol yesss that's me googling every single symptom hoping labour is here. This is my 2 nd but I didn't experience any symptom at all with my son (now5) plus I went 10 days over and had to be induced with him. How ever this pregnancy I have felt every ache, pain n tot opposite to my sons preg, so I have convinced myself im going to go early and googling every thing!!! I'll probably go ten days over n have be induced again knowing my luck !

I'm 36 weeks and I'm the same! I over think every feeling and ache i get secretly hoping it's labor! I've completely run out of patience. I'm constantly going back and forth between this and Google too! I've convinced myself that she will come early so now I'm just waiting impatiently
