This is what I found for you.
Just when you think you can't possibly get
any bigger and you'll never get off the
couch without a crane, you may experience
the following symptoms that let you know
the time is near. Note that these
symptoms don't occur in any particular
order, and several may occur within the
same day or a few days of each other.
An increase in vaginal discharge, possibly
brownish or pinkish in color
"engagement," or the sensation of the baby
dropping lower into your pelvic cavity
braxton hicks contractions or "practice"
contractions that feel like a tightening
or hardening of the uterus with possible
mild cramps
slight weight loss
dull pain low in your back that comes and
goes
loose and frequent bowel movements with
cramping
sensation of building pressure or cramping
in your pelvic/rectal area
a feeling of restlessness/increased
energy, or marked sense of fatigue
softening, thinning, or dilation of cervix
(suckers by doctor's internal exam)

Have you had your burst of energy yet?
And if you aren't already in labor...Try
eating a green apple! I know it sounds
weird but my grandma had 7 kids and she
knows!!! My mom had her burst of
energy...She felt pressure down below my
grandma made her sit on a wooden chair and
then my grandpa gave her a green apple!
She went to the bathroom to go # 2 and
then the labor came and I was as healthy
as can be! A month and 6 days overdue!!
Old myths like that really do work!

Haha!! What can we say...We just didn't
wanna come outta there!!She couldn't have
me vaginally though...I was caught on her
rib or something so it was either break my
collar bone (which makes me think I wasn't
turned the right way?), break my moms rib,
or do a c-section! And that was it...7lbs
2oz , 5 inches of black hair, and they got
me mixed up with an asian baby that was
next to me in the nursery...They found out
about the mix up when they saw that it was
an asian boy baby

Well you can
have sex
take baths (sit in water)
take a walk
eat green apples haha
talk to your belly (it sounds weird but
some believe it works)
instead of sitting on like a couch or
something, I know it sounds uncomfy, but
sit on hard flat surfaces
....Those may help ya....

Were you guys really a month overdue or do
you suppose the doctors were off with the
due date and thought that your moms were
further along than they actually were?
Hmmmm I puzzle myself to my own
questions...Could be possible you think?
