39 weeks. at least 4 episodes of false labor where the contractions would actually be regular and around my own bedtime they would be about 7-5 minutes apart and kinda painful but I go to sleep thinking, "Oh they'll wake me up." Only to get nothing!
I've lost my plug, my discharge is increased, my daughter has dropped, I'm walking, squatting, having sex (when I can at least.....) but nothing productive!
I feel like I'll never go into labor naturally!
 
Yes I also feel your pain. I am going on 38.5wks and have been dilated for quite some time (first check at 36wks I was already 3cm). At my last appt I measured 4-5cm and 80% effaced. It was so painful when she checked me because baby is soo unbelievably low and pushing on my cervix/vagina. I have been having every ache and pain in the book-Sharp shooting pains that keep me from standing at times, cramps, back aches, etc.- with more of what seems to be contractions the last couple days but nothing that stays regular or sticks around very long. I have been walking and cleaning more than you would believe, and have tried sex but that only makes me bleed as my cervix is so soft so that is out of the question. I lost my mucus plug Wednesday, for the second time.
I feel like this baby is NEVER coming out. I have been living out of my labor bag, just waiting for the moment when I have to rush to the hospital because I'm afraid when it happens it will be fast! So just know u are not alone. I know it will happen eventually but the wait is killing me. Good luck to you and hope it happens soon!
 
I'm sure you will! I went into real labor 7 days after losing the plug. I also had a 'bloody show' 3 days before. It started like period pains, then went into contractions. I waited until they were 3 minutes apart, then went in to the hospital. Even then, my baby wasn't born for another 4 hrs or so. So my word of advice, don't rush in to the hospital! So much more comfy to labor at home, i knew i was going to do it all natural so i wasn't in a rush to get hooked up to an iv or get an epidural.
 
i felt like this.. at 41 weeks exactly i woke up with minor contractions not even 7 minutes apart... i went to the hospital anyway because i had a non stress test scheduled and my water broke there.. trust me.. it'll come now when you least expect it now that your waiting on it.. forget about it for a while try not to think about it and then wham!! it'll start.. congratulations.. have a safe delivery!
 
I know exactly how you feel. I'm 39 weeks+1 and I cannot wait to finally have this baby. I even went and bought a big yoga ball to sit on. Lost my mucus plug and have braxton hicks like crazy. I have been trying nipple stimulation. You do it for 2 to 3 hours a day for 5 minutes taking a 15 minute break after each time. If you have a manual breast pump it works the best because it simulates a baby suckling which is what will make your uterus contract. You car supposed to stop during a contraction so I stop my time keeping as well and when it is over I pick up where I left off in the 5 minutes. My dr jinx me as well she said she figured my mucus plug was gone because there wasn't room between my cervix and water for there to be any but when you think it's gone you have more come out she told me that yesterday and BAM this morning more lol. I feel you pain and frustration. I guess all we can really do is sit well squat around and wait. Your not alone. Good luck
