Im at 40 weeks now.... I am completely thinned out, 3cm dilated and babies head is all the way down. She told me that she thinks I will deliver within 48 hours which was yesterday. She also stripped/swept my membranes. I also have been sick to my stomach for the last two days ( not really eating or nothing looks good ) she also said that it is from hormones. Basically my body is getting ready. Last night I didnt sleep well at all. I was up all the time. At one point I slept two hours and woke up feeling like I slept eight! Then today when I actually got up, I am so hot. I keep taking showers to cool myself off, im so ancy ( i cant sit still at all - and its driving me crazy ) and kept crying. I feel so depressed and its like I dont know what to do. Im guessing its hormones of course... Im going to call the doctor. But Im just wondering if anyone has had this happen too or any advice?

Right before I went into labor with my son I was very fidgety and anxious. I could not get comfortable no matter where I tried to sit or recline. I kept standing up and sitting down, but I couldn't stay in either position for more than 30 seconds. I wasn't hungry even though it was time for dinner. So I think, (but I'm not a doctor, this is just based on my experience,) that your body is probably getting very close. I hope you have a safe and happy delivery when it happens.

Yes I had the same thing happen to me. You need to walk take a hot shower or bath and that little one is on its way. Actually I would call the doc or go to the hospital, I think you are having a baby soon. I've had 4 children.

Sounds like it will happen real soon. I wouldn't be surprised if tonight you'll end up in real labor. I mean you sound like you are in real labor now, but in that dragging stage and the next will be some real work. Relax, before you know it a contraction will come or your water will break and you'll be on your way.

Sounds like a combination of anxiety and hormones, a double whammy. Try to calm yourself down and relax, take a walk because walking is good!!! Should be anytime now.

Congrats!! Your little one is on the way!!
Sorry to hear your first stage of labor has been so dumpy though.
Just keep up your strength, for what's coming next and you'll do great!!
