I haven't felt any braxton hicks in a while, had two bad experiences at 28w and 36w where they were very painful and lasted over 10hrs. But since then nothing and I feel like he is so comfy in there!!

I'm 38+1 ftm and haven't even felt a single contraction yet... And that's reallyyy discouraging. Still have all the aches and pains, and get plenty of rest but no sign of baby coming at all. Has anyone else been this far ahead and still not felt any braxton hicks yet? Feel like it's just gonna b like this forever!!

I had my daughter almost 6 weeks ago, I didn't loose my mucus plug until I went into labor. Not everyone looses it beforehand. I was induced, my choice, but it can happen at anytime. My dr always recommend walking to help with labor, and it really helps. Get lots of rest before baby comes too. It's easier said than done though. I say this because pushing is HARD work.

I feel you all!!!
Ftm 39w tomorrow.. and nothing so far!! Getting anxious and impatient, I too am checking every time I use the bathroom to see if I've lost my mucus plug and constantly looking in the mirror trying to figure out whether my tummy has dropped or not lol.
Yesterday I ate a whole pineapple, I've been drinking rasberry leaf tea, long walks and bouncing on my yoga ball hoping for something to happen.. nothing!!

My next appt is this friday and I really hope they check me and have some good news, because so far I have no idea if im even close to anything happening.. I hope my son isn't stubborn and hangs on in there!

At my appointment the day I turned 39 weeks with my first, I was 1cm dilated with no signs of labor. I had my son three days later. Ftms often go over, but there's always the chance of quick progression!
