sleep patterns/ labor ?

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
Just a question, I have been so sleepy the past few days, like napping for hours, sleeping well at night, is my body getting ready for the big day? I have been napping some but my sleep patterns have definitely changed the past few days, I am SO exhausted and I don't feel like doing anything. Yesterday I was having intense BH, for about 3 or 4 hours, no pattern really but I was having a lot of contractions, no pain just tightness. I also had some spotting that morning, very light and I think it was b/c of my Dr.'s visit I had the previous day when I had my cervix checked? I found out I was 50% effaced with a soft cervix. My husband is getting ready to leave town on Tuesday afternoon, the good news is that he will be back Wednesday evening, should I be worried about this? I have my Mom as a back-up hospital driver, just incase!

With both pregnancies, I was more tired the closer I got to my due date. I think it's just normal. I had BH with Emily (my first) regularly for about two months before I had her, so I don't know that the BH really mean anything.

From the looks of the exam things are beginning to progress. My sleep pattern at the end was to sleep alot! I think you will begin to feel more pressure with the BH as things progress as well. I'm sure your body is preparing.

sounds like your body is getting ready. Does your dh have to go away? or is it something that he can put off until after the baby arrives?

Thanks everyone! I wish there was some way of knowing that I would give birth in 'x' many days! lol the baby has definitely dropped, I can see the difference in my stomach and I am feeling a lot more pressure when I move around. I have only had a few off and on BH contractions today no where intense as it was yesterday. I just wish there was some way of knowing, don't we all? ;-)

Hubby does have to go away, unless I tell him not to, I am hoping that I will have some feeling if I am going to deliver! Fortunately he will be about 5 hours away so he shouldn't miss anything!

I am really hoping that I go into labor before the end of this month.

I was wondering if I would get on here this morning and see that you have went into labor or not. It sounds like you are prgressing a little quicker now. I hope everything goes well for you.
