couple of things to watch out for as you get nearer to your due date which could indicate impending labor *disclaimer* these are based on the experiences of me and my friends only,

1. Loss of mucus plug - you'll see lots of white glue / paste like stuff. mine came out a week before giving birth, for some of my friends it was the day before.

2. Lots of intense pressure on lower abdomen / back. mine was severe a week or 2 prior to delivery, bad enough where I could not sit nor stand without wincing in pain.

3. "nesting urge" if you get the sudden urge to clean your house, organize baby's stuff etc. mine started 3 weeks prior.

those were good tips
thank you so much for taking time and sharing them
may be the 3rd point you said could get me right
i am a very very very lazy person and always postpone cleaning and organising stuff at home

Dont watch too many movies, Lavii ! All those who do that fake contraction pains dont have a clue !

Take off when you feel like to. Dont go by what Kajol or Kareena does or for that matter even your cousin did. Every pregnancy is different, remember ? ( I was kidding, didnt mean you really go by the actresses.. was just teasing you !! )

When you feel you need to rest now and had enough of office.. just take off and take good care.

I used to feel the same way .. cant wait for baby to come .. just to see what my creation looked like

but trust me it's only craziness once baby is out... 2 hours of sleep per day and feeding and poop issues take control of your life .. so just enjoy the time you have right now !

btw preethi when is ur due date?

Drpreethis · Feb 12, 2010

Actually pooja.. me getting restless too and wait for the arival of my baby. It is basically because, I am bored a lot and life is getting monotonous. Now am ready to go through more stressful situation ! :bonkit is just a change of routine.. My friends keep warning me that I will miss the time I have in my hand right now.. Maybe, but I do have lots of time and have nothing to do with it now..

So, i understood what lavii said. My due is on May 11..
