Its not a bad thing. I know a good people that were induced. I had c-sections with all my kids. The first was bc she was stuck but I planned the other. And I'm going to have another with this one. If you want try a lot of walking especially on a good hill. My cousin said nipple stimulation helped her. There are a lot of natural things you can do. But overall, dont worry. Just know everything will be ok and listen to your body and be prepared.

@jjbutton, @lashellg sorry, I meant I'm 39 weeks and 2 days. my doctor is putting me in the hospital Monday night if my water doesn't break before then and they are going to induce me.

@kaates, I didn't feel any contractions until I was in labor. I woke up with annoying cramps that escalated. They weren't even painful until I was probably 5-6 cm dilated. I only went in because my water broke. Just pay attention to your body everyone has a different experience. (Btw: my experience was 7 hours cramps - baby) good luck!

every pregnancy is different not all are the same. I was in labor for 3 days with my first child and she was 5 days early. It's not a big deal. When they are ready you will know.

We are due date buddies and feel the exact same way. FTM so I don't know what to expect either....just hoping I'll know when it's the real deal.

I can't sleep either.. The further along I get the harder it is to sleep .. I'm just 25 weeks though and pregnant with my first so I can't help you but I wish u the best of luck lol

@lashellg, well one, everyone says I should be feeling some contractions well all I feel is cramping like I'm about to start my cycle. and second, WHY CANT I SLEEP?! lol.

what do you have concerns about?
