I think all of us who are due in the next four to five weeks are experiencing extremely similar symptoms. I feel I am getting ready to start my period at any moment. TMI: My mucous has changed to that gelatinous gross stuff. I am not expecting too much of a mucous plug because of my water breaking at 13 weeks - unless it grew back?? I don't have actual cramps. Also, when I walk, I have a lot of pain in my pelvic area..not cramping, I am sure it's just normal pain that is due to my body getting ready. My ribs kill because of where the babies head is and my heartburn was so bad last night I literally started to gag...isn't that wonderful. Gosh, we are so close but seem so far away. I wasn't even effaced or dilated when I was induced with Nathan about 9 days after his due date. I am already thinning and dilated with this one. I was never in any pain with nathan. Perhaps if this one actually flips, then the labor won't be so bad because my body is already preparing.
For the past week or two, my belly has been in the way of opening doors and moving about. It's pretty funny. I don't realize I am out that far and try to do normal daily activities and "poof" there it is..in the way.
We are moving this weekend, so wish us luck!!! I am packing some items but won't be moving anything. My husbands parents are coming in to help us along with my husbands boss and her husband. I will be just sitting around, directing and hoping they pack the van well.
