I felt just like that with Miss A. DS and Miss S came at 37w4d and 37w5d, so I assumed Miss A was going to come around the same time. Turns out she wanted to relax in my womb for more than a week extra. I was trying everything under the sun to encourage her to arrive. DS even started saying "going for a drive on the bumpy road?" every time we got in the car, lol! I was even feeling inside every time I went to the toilet to see if my cervix felt different and to see if mucous plug was coming away. Not sure why I thought I would have a massive plug come away this time considering I never even saw a mucous plug with DS or DD1... Then there was the two days of prelabour that got me all excited just like you, then fizzled out to nothing. I started feeling cheated. I felt like every extra day that she stayed inside was a day that I was missing out on having her in my arms. Silly I know, because it was special having her inside as well, but I totally understand how your feeling.

I even tried to trick myself into thinking that she would come on a date way in the future (like maybe her actual EDD, lol) so that I would stop thinking she might be coming "today" and feeling the disappointment when she didn't. Just so you know, that trick didn't actually help me haha.

I guess most of my time was spend chasing after DS and DD1 and trying to enjoy the time I had with them without a new baby. Unfortunately I had such a large belly and nasty SPD that I found it hard to really enjoy that time *sigh*. I look back on that week and a bit now and find it amusing that I wanted her out so amazingly desperately, because in the scheme of things it's such a teeny tiny percent of her life. BUT at the time it was sooooooo important and definitely a valid feeling hehe.

PS. I guess I don't win the prize for guessing her birthday Oh, and just so you know, I keep thinking of her as "Abby" at the moment because of her bedroom decor!
