9 Days left!!

FTM with only 9 days left until my due date, I'm so excited but so nervous too! I can tell she has dropped a lot in the past few days, and I've been having a lot of false contractions. But I haven't lost my mucus plug yet. Last Friday my doc checked me and I was 3cm dilated and 50% effaced. I'm so afraid I'm going to go over my due date though! I am beyond ready to have this baby, does anyone have any tips to naturally jump start labor? I'm already taking Evening primrose oil orally, 2000mg a day.

Ugh YES I'm so over it like don't get me wrong I love feeling him in but the constant feeling of being uncomfortable is completely annoying me lol.

Sex usually gives contractions but nothing extreme.
I've been having contractions for the past two days and all night but nothing that actually makes me feel like I need to goto the hospital.

I have an appointment in a couple of hours so hopefully we get this ball rolling somehow I'm so ready to meet my little dude :)

Good luck with everything and I hope he comes sooner than later for yah! And I'll def keep everyone posted <3

Ugh I know what you mean, by this point being pregnant is just tiring and almost too much. But, I know it will be well worth it in the end. And you're right, I guess they really do come when they are ready. :( I've been trying walking, squats, sex. I've been having contractions for the past four days usually at night but still nothing. Urgh!

I really hope your little one comes soon though! You're at your due date so at least you know you have a max of 2 weeks left, hopefully much sooner though right! :) Good luck and I hope you have a smooth birth, let us know when your baby gets here!

Don't get too excited 4% of women deliver on their actual due date and us ftm's are more than likely to go over their due date.

I'm due today, 3 cm 70% effaced, lost my mucus plug last week. Contractions but nothing too bad and still no baby.


I've done everything today... Walked for hours, up and down stairs, hot sauce, bounced on birthing ball, sex.

Safe to say the saying is true when they will come when they are ready :(

I'm so over being pregnant :/
