Progress maybe?

I went and took DH some lunch a little while ago and decided to stop by Kmart to look at baby clothes and get shoes for both DS's.  While walking throguh the store I was feeling crampy off and on.  Not really contractions, just sharp pains in the cervical area that lasted a few seconds and came intermitently.  After being in the store several minutes I notice I felt really wet and slimy down there. (sorry TMI) I also was having waves of feeling the urge of a bowel movement but it would go away after a few seconds.  So I finally went to the bathroom.  I had a good bit of slimy discharge, not like the normal CM I have been getting, this was clear and slimy, no blood or anything.  At first I thought maybe it was "leftovers" from DH and I bd'ing night before last but I smelled it (tmi again) and it didn't smell like that...actually it really didn't HAVE a smell at all.  I've since had some more of the cramping/cervical pain feeling but so far no more discharge.  

I hope this is the start of something.  It all feels different from what I've been feeling the last few days...it also brings back memories of the few days before I went into labor with DS5.  Keep your fingers crossed, pray and send lots of labor dust my way :)

I think so too LOL  Actually I think I'm just reading too much into things becuase I want to have this little girl so bad. I also know that the closer I get to my due date my doctor will start talking about induction as he did last time and I'd really rather do this the natural way!!!

Labor is playing games with you, and not the fun kind! I really do hope it gets going soon, I know you've been through a lot, and are ready for her to be here!

Thanks girls.  This is kinda TMI but ever since I had that discharge this morning (had it twice) I've noticed a wierd smell.  I can usually smell it all the time if I pay attention, but it's really noticeable when I go to the bathroom.  Not sure WHAT that's about.  Getting a few contractions but nothing note-worthy and some mild cramping/cervical pains.

I wish.  Walked on the treadmill for 15 mins, started out with a good contraction, had some pressure...then NOTHING.  Maybe she'll suprise me like DD7 did.  Exactly a week before I had NO dialation and my cervix was only soft.  I had nothing significant going on that week...nothing more than normal pressure and BH then one night I woke up at midnight becuase my water broke.  So, we'll see how this little girl does.
