Possibly Labor!

Possible signs of labor (from here):

Here are some things to watch for in the weeks and days surrounding your due date.

More frequent Braxton-Hicks contractions
Lingering back pain
Noticing the baby’s weight has shifted downward (or the baby dropping into your pelvis)
Nesting urges - energy spurts or a restless feeling at any hour of the day
Some increased cervical discharge
Frequent and/or loose bowel movements
Possible queasy or mild flu-like symptoms

I have every one of the above. I have yet to lose my mucous plug or experience anything really telling like that, but I have had all of the above in the last 2 days. In fact, 6 and 7 just started last night, and I still don’t feel quite right today.

While labor may still be weeks away, I wanted to update everyone just in case. I have a prenatal appointment tomorrow morning at 8, so I’m going to request an internal exam to determine any cervical changes, and if there’s anything newsworthy, I’ll report it (or have Dad do it).

Bring it on, LuLu. I’m ready for ya, babe.
