Am I the last February Mom-2-Be?

So out of everyone, I SWORE I would of had this baby for sure around 34-36 weeks...NOT 40!!!!  

Am I the last February Mommy?  

I know not everyone on the forum updates us to let us know their situation, so there might be more out there, just curious.  

I'll kinda tell you whats happening with me.
Lastnight we had sex just to try to get things going.  (You KNOW it's not easy being a whale...LOL)  But we did it.  LOL  
I woke up about 2:30am with these aweful aweful cramps and couldn't lay down.  The lower part of my uterus would tighten up and again I couldn't move my legs.  It hurt so bad.  Not sure if it was a contractions or not.  But once it stopped cramping up, I went to the bathroom thinking I had to pee and maybe I'd stop hurting.  Well, my cervix was getting that burning feeling and my bottom had tons of pressure.  I felt kinda gassy, but nothing was happening.  I walked around for about 10-15 minutes to see if the cramping would go away and they didn't.  Once I laid back down in bed, contractions were every 15-17 minutes.  Like the big ones that are painful and gives you all that pressure down there.  

Since I've been up withthe kids, about 7:30am, I've been contracting off and on every 6-10 minutes.  VERY painful ones, but not lasting longer then 30 seconds.  Hoping tonight might be the night or even tomorrow.   These contractions are VERY low in my hips, cervix area and radiates to my back.  Once hey hit my back, they seem to go away instantly.  But still VERY strong with the next one.  

Not sure if anyone has other children as well, but HOW THE HELL DO YOU DEAL WITH THE SCREAMING and the "Mommy I want...." when you have a contraction?  OMG...I just don't feel like dealing with it all right now.  Luckily it's Sunday and my husband is home to help.  But he's got to work all work.  He tried getting the week off to help around here, but his boss wouldn't let him.  


I'll come back on if something else happens or if these do get more intense (lasting longer).  


XOXO-
Brandi♥

Haha, I know this is a couple days late, but really I think I'm the very last.  ;)  My EDD is the 27th, so I have 9 days to go.  No effacement and dialation is a tiny finger tip at best, according to the OB this past appt on Monday.  I'm so afraid to carry over into March!!!  For some reason, my "due" month is Feb, and I want a Feb baby!!!!  Daniel needs to come this weekend when my FMLA leave starts.  I will be 39 weeks complete this Friday.

When I got that "burning" feeling in my cervix, it was causing me to dialate.  I know your baby is very low in the pelvis and think this is causing the pressure you feel in the hind end.

Sit on your birthing ball some time today, to open up the pelvis even more.  I still think that your labor is going to be short, because of all the "pre-pains" and sensations you have had.  

I know it sounds gross, but if I reached into my vagina, I could actually feel the lump of my baby's head.  He was really sitting right on top of the cervix.  He was a way over due baby, back in those days, when they didn't think about inducing you.  They were idiots. When all the period like cramps hit and starting last a minute or so, I finally went to the hospital and I was 6 cms when I was admitted.

When the contractions were lasting a minute or longer and I was having all that bloody show, I knew that it was time to give birth.....finally!

Hit that birthing ball, Brandi.  Maybe the pressure of that baby's head, will get things going, so you have contractions, lasting a minute or more.
