ok i am obviously getting anxious as i am 38.1 weeks pregnant and have been having pre labor signs since i was 34 weeks. I will give a brief summary, then (just for fun) i want your opinions and guesses on when this baby may arrive. Anyone who experienced these please share your stories!! Thanks
34 weeks lost a big piece of mucous plug (no blood) also started having some small menstrual like cramping contractions
35 weeks continued menstrual cramps
36 weeks fingertip dilated and starting to thin (last time i was checked for changes)
37 had a small spot of blood in undies twice this week (very small spot hardly noticeable)
38 weeks (just started 11/24/06) had bowel movement after everything i ate and now tonight after walking around the mall i have some small spots f blood in my undies (still not alot maybe it is a lil bit of bloody show)
sooo with that said...whats your opinions...i no there is no def. answer fo rme...but i am anxious and curious to see what u think!

all this happened to me on my 2nd pregnancy at about the same time but my baby was still 2 days overdue i think your baby will probably be born 3 days before your due date

I think you are getting close to delivering a baby!! You need to be talking to your OB/GYN rather than a bunch of strangers!!! You should probably be taking it a little more easy for now. It is not easy on a preemie baby. Their little lungs aren't quite developed all the way and they run the risk of illness more, because the immune system is compromised . Being a lot more fragile than full term babies is another risk. It's not cool being a preemie. My son was born 6 weeks early and is still the smallest kid in his class at 11! It hurts his self esteem, he is just as smart as everyone else, but is a year behind in size. It isn't his fault he was premature, but kids are cruel and tease kids that aren't just like they are. It's not an easy life as it is, but to have an early start because someone didn't do what they should have is the pits. Good Luck.

Talk to your mom tell her that you feel really down and that your frightened of things like these, shes your mom so she will want the best for you, If she wont listen maybe you could talk to your dad or another close relative? I found talking helped me when i was depressd a few years ago, even just a close friend, let out exactly what you think and feel and even have a good cry every now and then. Maybe keep a diary of how you feel for a few weeks then show it your mom? I hope you get better soon

Man!!! When I lost my "plug" with both of mine I was in early labor. You have gone a longer after that than I did. As far as the blood, I never did that. Did you talk to your doctor about that? That would have totally freaked me out. I know you are so ready, I know I was. Maybe with all of the walking, you did it this time and will be going tonight or in the morning. Best wishes to you and your little angel. CONGRATS!!!!!!!

the plug can come out in pieces but i would rest as much as possible ,my guess is within the next day or two ,and you could always go to the hospital to get checked out just is case

I'd call your doctor and tell him/her this list of things. If your 'contractions' get 5 minutes apart or less, go to the emergency room anyway.

ummm i would say with the bloody show and cramps (braxton hicks) that its your body's way of getting you ready to have the baby if your looking for ways to get the labor started i would suggest things but non of them worked for me and eveybody's body is different

Well, seeing as you are 38 weeks I would say any day now you'll get to meet your bundle of joy.

My "guess" is that the baby will get here when the baby is damned good and ready to.
