39 Weeks And Counting. . . Posted: 01-30-06 10:40am
Hi everyone,
i am new to this forum today and I would
just like to say how tiring pregnancy is
towards the end. I am 39 weeks + 3 days
and my baby is due on the 3rd february.
The first and second trimester seemed to
go reasonably quickly but the last few
weeks of pregnancy doesn't half make you
feel like a huge water balloon! I am
sooooo excited for my baby to arrive and
every day I am looking for the signs of
going into labor. This is my first child
and I know it isn't going to be easy once
I am in labor but I just want to live the
experience of giving birth right now! I
am being so inpatient but I cannot help
it. I have been getting alot of backache
lately and lots of white and really weird
smelly discharge (sorry for sharing too
much info lol) does anyone know whether
this is a sign that labour is near?

I'm sure labour is near just cause you're
so far along (i had my son when I was 39w
3d!!) what kind of smelly? Is it bad?
If so it could be an infection that should
be checked out. Have you been having any
sort of cramps? I never had braxton
hicks and didn't even know I was in labour
till my water broke but had been having
crampy feelings all that day (contractions
I now know)

Thanks for your reply.
No, the smells arnt really bad at all just
different. Hinestly, everyday I am just
waiting for my waters to either break or
the sign of the plug to show. I am just
so excited! I keep looking in the
hospital bag that I have packed and keep
changing the babys clothes for when he
arrives. I feel so silly! It just seems
like it is taking forever! I may still
have 2 weeks to go if he is late and I am
becoming more and more impatient as the
days go by. When I ring my husband at
work he is always on edge just in case I
have rang to let him know that I am in
labor haha! Everyone is getting really
excited but I just feel like I am being
selfish by wanting him here right now.

Nah it's totally normal to feel that way
right now. I was soooooooo sick of being
pregnant by the end. I didn't lose my
plug till my waters broke so it may be the
same for u. Good luck!!!!
