For those of us still waiting

First-time mom: I'm due on October 26th, and there are currently no signs of labor. The mucus plug is still intact, I haven't experienced a bloody show, and the baby is still positioned high. There's also no colostrum or any leakage from my breasts! 😂😂😂 However, my entire body is in pain. My pelvis hurts quite a bit! I've been having irregular Braxton Hicks contractions, and last evening I experienced three very strong contractions for the first time—strong enough that it felt like she was about to come out at 100 miles per hour!

I’m in the same boat! Due on 10/28 and mostly just experiencing pain from very loose joints and baby kicking excessively in my ribs and pressure on my cervix. I’ve only had a few BH, with only one being really intense! But I’m noticing some small changes every day and knowing it could all change in an instant…or continually build up over the next 1-2 weeks?! If babies truly came on their due date I would probably have some serious anticipation and anxiety so I keep telling myself the mystery of it all is fun 😂

Yes @Jamie! These little humans have their clock for sure! I hope our babies get here soon! We are ready for the next phase of “suffering” 😂😂😂

I am in the smae boat. Due 10/25

Samesies, my due date is the 27th and I haven’t lost my mucus plug, haven’t had any contractions not even BH, and overall feel pretty much the same as I did a month ago. Pelvic pain has increased slightly and I have been able to collect some colostrum, I really hope he doesn’t wait too much longer I’m so excited to meet him!

Same here! Due date 10/28 i got checked last week i was 1cm dilated but with no symptoms of labor whatsoever, i been having some mild period cramping since yesterday but nothing has progressed. I also have an appointment tomorrow hopefully im more dilated 🙌🏼we got this!

Same but my due date was 10/17. Still nothing 😢😢😢

Same! I hear it can all change so fast so trying to have hope. Due date is 10/31 for me. I’ve had my first mild contractions but not dilated yet. I was at L&D yesterday for brown discharge but turns out it was an infection 🤦🏻‍♀️ Pelvic pain increased this week so im just trying to make it through this last week of work and then I’ll start leave and wait! 🤞

Due the 26th. Wasn’t dilated at all last Friday. Ob can feel babies head and I’ve had excruciating pelvic pain for several weeks now. I get tons of Braxton hicks but nothing has been the real deal 😭

I’m due on the 26th! I haven’t lost mucus plug or had a bloody show. I do hear that Braxton hicks feel like stomach tightening so I have some of those but I don’t think I’ve had any real contractions. I was checked last week and she was head down, I was 1cm and 0% effaced. I’m thinking about getting a membrane sweep next week if she is not here. I really don’t want to be induced so I’m hoping she will go head and come

@Taleigha I’m hoping so bad I’m dilated by my appointment this Friday. If I am, I’m 100% getting a stretch and sweep. I’ve been doing all the raspberry tea, dates, ball bouncing and walking this week. My fingers are crossed 😭 Good luck to you!

@Janaya I’m hoping my baby comes before my next appointment ! Good luck to you , maybe we are next !

My next appointment is on Monday. I'm also hoping and praying the baby comes before then.

Samesies 🙋🏻‍♀️ I’m due 10/27 and the only thing for me so far is the doctor said I was 1cm dilated at the appointment this week. I hope labor happens soon 🤞🏼
