Rachael R asked:
I have asked around and people say you get a ton of “all of a sudden energy”, but are there any other things that happen to you the last week of pregnancy, like cramps, absentmindedness. I just am so anxious and want to know when she is gonna pop out! I am at 37 weeks and can harldy wait anymore.
I actually have gotten a ton of energy the past 2 weeks and last night I had my first contraction (or first intense BH). I couldn’t breath, I could barely move, I could hardly speak it was like the wind was knocked out of me and my stomach was being squeezed inward it was crazy, I’d never felt a BH like that, so I know it should be any day now, and that’s what the doctor said. But yea, I just got a burst of energy and I’ve been walking every night, and running around the house with the dog, and just acting crazy and having fun, it’s like I’m on a high and I’m not really pregnant anymore, because I feel great (which I don’t like because it makes me feel like I’ll be pregnant forever)! Good luck!
With me the first time around, I did get the spurts of energy, my house was very very clean when the baby finally came. The cramps are a good sign that the baby is lining up for the finale, but that could come a few weeks before actual delivery. And personally, this is my second pregnancy (34weeks) and I have never been so absent-minded and forgetful in my life!
I started With light period pains..
And never slept so much in my life! everyone is different! and now im in early labour!
Contractions…OUCH!!
good luck! xx
Its different for everyone. One week before my first baby was born, I lost my mucos plug and then the baby dropped really low. I started having small contractions. Second baby I felt nothing. Infact I had my membranes stripped so it would possibly help speed up labor. And it did because I went into labor the next day. With this baby I am 35 weeks and have a few days of “energy bursts” and the baby has dropped a lot already. I’ve had an increase in watery type discharge. I am completly forgetful (much more thanI had been), but all this does not necessary mean I’ll go into labor in a week. It all happens when that baby is ready. If you want you could try walking more and maybe have your husband/partner ejaculate in you during ***. I’ve heard the ***** has something in it to start labor for some when. Good luck.
