No pre-labour symptoms @ 40 weeks ...grrr

[Mummy Mummy]

Hi Princessmya,

How are you & Ashley doing? I am so happy for you!

Well I havnt really had any more symptoms yet ... except more BH and slight period cramps - but no show or anything. I feel a little sick in the stomach - but I think that might be just nerves!

I saw the doctor today & she told me to come back in next wednesday for an internal before my induction on the 22nd June. I was hoping for an internal today - to see if there has been any progression. Fingers crossed that labour will progress naturally very soon.

Mummy mummy,

I had NOTHING until 6:50pm on 22 February 2007. My waters didn't break until DS was nearly out - the doctor had a plastic apron on because - as he said - I've been drenched before.

I was pg and then I wasn't........... that was it, in a nut shell.

Good Afternoon Everyone,

Guess what - I have had my baby boy ... only 3 days late with no pre labour symptoms and a birth that only took 3 hrs & 55 minutes. What a surprise!! I am just going to post the birth announcement now. Thanks again for all your advice, Sarah

Wow Mummymummy, congratulations! I hope I follow your example!!

[Mummy Mummy]

Thanks Feathertop! I wish you all the best & hope you get to meet your little one soon...

I forgot to mention that I think the EPO & RLT paid off - Good contractions & no tearing... maybe a coincidence but really feel it contributed to a great birth!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like you had what I had:

Pg then suddenly not pg!!! Simple as that! Well done!!

You most definetely can. I had nothing of any description until the Monday when I started to get BH and then 0100 tuesday morning my waters broke and I niggled all day and was induced on wednesday morning. Came as a complete shock to me so don't think for a second that your body isn't doing anything because it might be being sneaky like mine was and will spring it on you. Good luck and I hope you don't have to wait too long.
