Less than a week

6 days to go & still no bloody show or anything. I'm already 4-5cm dilated & 90% effaced as of last Tuesday & his head is really low. I don't get to go back to the dr until Friday morning. They thought I wouldn't make it past this Friday, but here I am. Have only had a few minor contractions nothing major & idk if I've even lost my mucous plug. I have white & clear discharge but no blood tinged kind or anything. I've been getting headaches & lots of nausea & I have intense pelvic pain & some back pain, but no sign of actual active labor yet.... I'm just so ready to meet my handsome little man. How you other January mommies doing & feeling?

I am due in 6 days too! But, I'm getting induced Thursday && im really excited to meet my baby boy.. I lost my mucus plug a few days ago, but i dont think you have to lose it to go into labor. & I've been having a little bit more pain and nausea but that's about it. No contractions that I've noticed.
