Your body going through "cleansing" mode, false labor getting more questionable, the fullness and softness going on downstairs like labor is getting SUPER close? I know *I'M* right on schedule... 31-33 weeks is bang on for me. With Eliya I had TEN full weeks of this stuff, it got old REAL fast. This time, I'm hoping the longest I go is 40 weeks.

The more women I talk to, the more I find out that I'm such a freak... other women don't start this stuff until 35-37 weeks. [whatwacko] I'm a weirdo.... When do you gals start to notice this "Gearing Up" stuff??

I think with Lydia it was about 33-34weeks that all that started. I thought I was going to go early because of it but nope she wanted to be 8 days late...lol.


I can't believe you are 31 weeks already!

i just had B/H beginning around 18wks with Shaelyn. no B/H with Trevor. nothing else happened for me until i 'lost' my mucous plug and delivered them within 24 hours. :-)

Jen, for me everything pretty much happened on the day of delivery. I was never uncomfortable with anyone of them.
Not like Rachel [whatwacko] poor thing, I'm like your so not like me at all! I pray her labor & delivery is smooth like mine[crossheld] She's been feeling if for weeks now!

I honestly never have, I THINK I had a few bh contractions with Payton but nothing real serious until my water broke. I was pretty comfortable up until that point. :)

Yay, Jessy I'm not alone :-D my water never broke with any of mine!

I guess I *am* a weirdo. ::snort:: Yesterday, I had such strong braxton hicks allll day, it was driving me crazy... kinda like a nagging toothache does, ya know? They stopped when we got into bed at ten... that's the kind of thing I deal with. In past pregnancies, I ran to the doctor because I was braxton hick-ing allll day like that... now I've learned, that unless it's SUPER strong, feeling pressure, or having other real signs that it's REAL labor, ignore it... it's just my irritable uterus. ::rolls eyes:: S'ok... but I'm surprised that *no one* else is like this... that's all.

Eva, I guess you're kinda there with me, huh? :)
