35 weeks 5 days, her head is in position

When does labor usually occur when this has begun? Last Tuesday my dr said i am  at 1 cm dilated. I see her again this Tuesday to nd every Tuesday after. So much has been going on lately. My mucus plug has been slowly coming out, pink the other day but lately just white discharge. Completely exhausted, on nd off stomach tightening or stabbing pains, back pains,  not excruciating but discomforting nd painful at times too. feet nd ankles r so swollen but hurt nd not aching or sore pain, piercing paralyzing pain. constantly peeing, headaches, cnt sleep, uncomfortable no matter how i lay or sit or stand. Excessively painful  acid reflux. I hurt just putting my socks nd shoes on, i want to cry. I feel All of the above.  Help me please ladies? Thank u!

I'm 40 weeks today... and still no show!!!! So, I guess they all have their own plan of when they want to show up.  I see my doctor Thurs. And then we'll discuss how to proceed. .. If he's not here by then. So, all I can say is everyone and every pregnancy is different.  Just be patient.

At my 35 weeks she was in position and i was 1cm dilated. Today i am 39wks lol. Last week I was still only 1cm. Our bodies start preparing way before labor can occur. I feel your pain, i have all the symptoms too. I have to keep telling myself she will.come when she is ready (but I am ready now!)
