Labor..

[JessicaOv]

When do you ladies start experiencing signs of labor? I'm 38 weeks and I have no signs of anything. I still haven't lost any of my mucus plug, I'm not sure if I've dialated at all yet because my Dr is going to check my cervix at my next app in a few days, but besides that, NOTHING. It doesn't even feel like my baby has dropped. I'm so aggravated :/

I'm 39weeks&6days...absolutely no signs of labor. Everyone is different..I will be going past my due date. :/ but I'm trying to cope with it by telling myself my son is not ready to come out and needs a little more time.

I started dilating at 40 wks 3 days 1 1/2 cm and then my midwife ruptured my membranes. That caused bloody show and I lost (still losing) my mucus plug. But no real early labor signs. Every one is different. Try not to focus on it to much, you will drive yourself crazy like me :)

I started around week 33. I had strong contractions, my body was clearing itself out (sorry TMI) my son dropped so low I could barely walk and I lost like 5 pounds. I had a hospital scare at week 34, and they put me on amoxicillin because they said my GBS was causing me to go into early labor. At 36 weeks, I was 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced, and at 37 weeks I was 2 cm dilated and still 50% effaced. My contractions became irregular again from the amoxicillin, but since then have come back more consistently (about 7 minutes apart.)

Everyone's body is different thought. My doctor said this is rare for a FTM to be so far along so early, (at least from what shes seen.)

I have a list of about 40 things in my journal my doctor's midwife gave me that she said can help bring on labor. I haven't tried all of them, but have tried sex, walking, bouncing on a birthing ball, eating pineapple and drinking tea oh and swinging my hips and dancing. They're all worth a try!

Oh and I never lost my mucous plug and never had any contractions with my first 2. Nothing til the day I was induced.

[Sarahdawn1990]

With my first 2, I was 38 weeks and not even dilated. I got induced at 39 week's so I can't tell you past that. This time I'm 29 weeks and have been having lots of bh but I haven't been checked for dilation.
