Honey, you are 37 weeks pregnant, complaining is part of the package. ;)

For the last month of my pregnancy hubby wanted to move out, I was a wee bit crabby and might have taken it out on him a little bit. What a baby he was, after all, I was the one carrying that baby, and a picnic it wasn't.

Complain all you want, just remember, it's worth it in the end. :)

Very true. I think the hubby should be catering to you that last month.

You betcha, she should be a queen on a throne. :)

The last month is the hardest, the waiting, the worry, the wondering, it's almost torture, hubby got the easy part, he needs to pamper you like you've never been pampered before. :)

Definitely. I haven't been pregnant yet, but the way the boyfriend acts when I'm sick, I know he'll be a great Dad. Just don't tell him I said that cause he may freak out!

Your secret is safe with me, my lips are sealed. ;)

Hehe, thanks.

Well ladies I agree but I have a great husband he never complains about me being pregnant, even now when I want to scream at him he just sits there and says it's the pregnancy talking.

Last night I was doing some "research "on Internet of when my baby would come ( just for fun) and I came across this site Labor Prediction Quiz
It was just for fun and I took it this is what the prediction said in my case

Get your bags packed early just in case you need them. Make sure your partner has a phone available when he's away because this baby just might come early. We predict your baby will come 2-3 weeks early. Your baby will most likely be born in the morning. Justmommies predicts that your baby will weigh approximately 6.3 pounds and that your labor will be about 14 hours long.

So lets see how true it is once the day comes, well I am off to do some running around.

Wow, that's neat. Interesting if it comes true. Keep us posted, we want to know when you have your baby, all the details. ;)

It was just something for fun, but now of course I have another question I have been going to the bathroom and on my tp their has been this thick, very thick mucus discharge. It is clear and really stringy I even have it if I don't pee it's there, I have to use 3 tp to wipe to get it all. I have been going number 2 all morning as well no diarrhea though. So is this just normal discharge or is something else going on?

If its white, it is probably just normal discharge.

It's clear though not white, it's really sticky clear stuff.

Sounds like your mucus plug

When you lose your plug doesn't it have to be brown and pink too? As well could it be most likely residual semen and discharge from the intercourse?

The mucus plug is usually thick and bloody looking,or pink, I think you are correct, it is most likely residual semen from having intercourse.

Okay sounds good thanks guys.

No problem, anytime.

I don't know if you received this answer yet... I haven't gone through all answers since there are so many... but try something cold on your belly. I went to the hospital once because I couldn't feel my baby either and the second they added that cold gel, he moved around like crazy. The nurse then told me (even though doctors may not suggest this) but get an icecube or something frozen and touch your belly where you know your baby is positioned and he/she will move.

Your mucus plug does not have to have blood in it. Mine didn't.

Did you lose your plug all at once? Because the mucus is still their and its just so sticky sometimes when I wipe it's on my fingers and won't get off.

I lost it a lot like you. A little at a time, never one big blob

Oh so it could be the mucus plug, how long after can you go into labour? I heard a few days or a few weeks is that correct? Is there any other signs that it might be happening soon? I have not had a blood show yet I think that's what they call it.

I lost my mucus plug at 36 weeks and was induced at 38 weeks so I stayed pregnant for two more weeks so really can't tell. I've heard to stay active, long walks, squats, bounce on a birthing ball, swim... The bloody show and the mucus plug are the same thing. If you did not lose the entire mucus plug, but just atiny bit, it can just regrow. My mother did not lose her mucus plug with me until five minutes before she started pushing and she was in labor with me for 17 hours

I am trying to stay active today is garden day, I have to get everything done and finished. For the last 3 weeks all I have been doing is cleaning, I can't watch my husband make a Sandwich on the counter because god for bid he spills something and I lose on him. Right after I cook I have to clean up I won't even eat my dinner first, same thing goes with wiping everything down with disinfectant. I think I have nuts or so that's what my husband is beginning to think.

I did the same thing as soon as I started my third trimester. I was a clean freak. I cannot tell you how many times I cleaned the floors, rearranged the baby's room, folded and refolded his clothes, reorgainized his drawers and closet, wiped everything down. I drove everyone crazy and if anyone made a mess or anything I let them have it. I wish I had listened to everyone when they told me to rest and to sleep as much as I can, because once active labor starts you will never feel fully rested for a very long time. You would think they would let you sleep and rest and everything in the hospital, but NOPE! You will be lucky if you can get 4 hours straight of sleep... So go to sleep! Go rest read a book go to a movie, something.

You know I have tired that I even try to go to bed early but for some reason or another I get up because my legs feel like they have aunts in them. So only thing that helps is walking, have you had that problem?

I had that same problem with my last child and I had to go to the er and they had to shock my belly and everything cause his heart had stopped they made me drink coke and they said drinking jucie was a really good way to get the heart bet up they put me on a friut and jucie diet

I agree

If you are really concerned than call your doctor, this is not the time for you to worry, and no question is a silly one, your doctor has been through this, he'll either ask you to come in for a checkup or reassure you.

Let us know how it goes.

Good Luck.
