overdue and on edge!

I have period pains and some back pain off and on although not massively painful. I haven't had any leaking of any kind. I feel I'm being a slave to my funny aches and pains and always on edge!

If you are feeling even slight contractions, you are progressing. Most people don't experience their water leaking on their own. I've delivered 4 of my own babies and my water only broke once with out assistance.
Being on edge is probably keeping you from going faster right now. Anxiety and stress can slow, delay or even stop labor. Try to relax, go for a walk, do shop shopping or work around the house. Let gravity help you out.

My baby is late also. Have had cramps & back pain off and on for about 6 days. Done the walking, bouncing on ball, nipple stimulation & none of it works. Sex is out, I hate pineapple plus the amount needed to actually work is ridiculous. I'm on the edge right there with you. Starting to feel like i'll always be pregnant.

Aww, i hope he comes soon. Im getting closer too and keep hoping for signs of labor or getting ready for labor. Try relaxing, find something to take your mind off of it. Im going for a massage this weekend :D

Yep yep I had the same. I just power walk. We have 2 flights of stairs at home where I walk every day which explains the speedy delivery!
