I appreciate your update! :happy: I am trying my best to be patient but it is so hard!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-signs-of-labor#post-1959676 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 11:55:36 +0000 Mrs. BD 1959676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@magnolia: Sorry to tell you! I stayed that way for a week. Then, the cramps got worse, and I lost the mucus plug along with a nice "bloody show"--gross! That turned into contractions, and my son was born on 11/16, his due date! I was super anxious too, and really wanted it to be sooner. But, I was already 5 cm dilated when I got to the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-signs-of-labor#post-1959483 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 10:17:26 +0000 magnolia 1959483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. BD: your original post is exactly what I've been going through since Saturday, I'm 38 weeks 4 days. Any updates? Were you in labor? (Aka give an anxious first time mama some hope) :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-signs-of-labor#post-1932017 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 09:06:29 +0000 BandDmommy 1932017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. BD: cramping is an early sign of upcoming labor. Exciting!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-signs-of-labor#post-1931998 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 08:54:31 +0000 Foodnerd81 1931998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. BD: my early labor felt just like menstrual cramps, but they came and went, which was my clue that it was labor. Good luck, hopefully it's not too much longer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-signs-of-labor#post-1931976 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 08:40:09 +0000 Mrs. BD 1931976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rainbowsprinkles: No update :( I made it through the night with the same symptoms. It doesn't stop! Still cramping my way to 39 weeks.</p> <p>Hopefully, something will happen soon because this sucks! It's not labor, but it's still pretty painful. Come on baby, show your mother some respect! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-signs-of-labor#post-1931831 Thu, 06 Nov 2014 00:00:04 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1931831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any update?

So exciting!! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-signs-of-labor#post-1931753 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 21:57:01 +0000 lawbee11 1931753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I lost my mucus plug at 37w5d. At my 38w appt I was 2cm and 80% effaced. Later that day I had consistent cramping and started noticing contractions that evening (it was like the cramps started coming in waves and developed into contractions). Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-signs-of-labor#post-1931752 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 21:54:35 +0000 Mrs. BD 1931752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 38w 3d pregnant, and today I lost my mucus plug. Shortly after, I began to notice some mild cramping that has been going on now for about 4 hours or so. It's just constant cramping...not contractions. At my last doc appointment, I was 2.5cm dilated and over 80% effaced. Is it possible that cramping is an early sign? Did anyone else have this before they went into labor? Here's hoping!!! </p>
