Its good to know I'm not the only one.
We have the same due date! =) im also a ftm.
Fortunately my Ob doctor gives all his patients the option to get induced after 39 weeks. We decided on the 23rd which is next Wednesday. You should talk to your ob about your options. I have been experiencing the same exact things as you. :/ So I've been walking every single day to try to speed things up. I walk between a mile to 6 on my treadmill or take my fur babies on walks. When it's nice out. As tiring that may sound it pays off at the end of the day because your body is on full mode to just relax. I also find is baths very helpful. I take one every night before bed. We are almost at the finish line. Hang in there momma =)
Oh yes hun, that is exactly how the end feels. I'm FINALLY being induced this Saturday and I can't wait LOL. The worst for me is when my baby girl..for lack of a better explanation, grinds her head on my pelvic bone in anticipation for the big day, or in the middle of the night when I haven't used the bathroom in a couple hours due to sleeping, walking the short distance to the restroom, or even getting out of bed at that point, there is just so much pressure it feels like the sac is just gonna explode much like an overfilled waterbaloon.
I'm experiencing same symptoms but I'm not a ftm this is my fourth and its truly been the worst pain for the past few weeks and I can barely walk at times ofcourse I go to college and have three other kids to attend to sonim always moving. But usually moving in tons of pain.
