    Prelabour is torture. I had plenty of it with my third baby, and it's no fun at all. You can't rest, you're emotionally strained and exhausted, just want to be done, but things aren't "really" happening. But, the good news is, they really do get you ready to deliver. When that baby does decide it's ready, things should move along pretty quickly for you. With DD3, I had pre-labour off and on for a few days, and then had about 10 hours of steady, painful contractions with no dilation. And then all of a sudden, BAM, the real thing started, and 2 hours later, she was born.
    Here's hoping you don't have too much longer to wait! Sounds like you are getting really close! All the best.

    Sure am. Absolutely nothing overnight At least I got a good night's sleep. I am just starting to get some twinges now, but not contractions.

    Hurray for sleep! Let's hope today's the day. Go do something fun - get a pedicure or invite a good friend out for lunch.

    I feel for you. It won't be long, promise.
    Sleep is a good start I guess.
