40 weeks and 1 day..

So my baby decided not to come out yet lol but I'm going to try and start labor. So far I tried walking, bouncing on yoga ball, sex, & climbing stairs. Also it feels like I got pressure down there from the baby being so low, but for the past 2 days i have been feeling  so lazy with a sore lower back and period cramps? Is that normal? (Having period like cramping?) Ftm_ due yesterday

Make plans to do something like a pedicure or date night. Baby might have other plans. I was supposed to be at a memorial service the day my daughter was born. I was okay with her changing plans. Maybe your baby will do the same. If not you have one last time to yourself before baby gets here. I've heard a good foot massage can put you in labor. That's why o said pedicure.

So glad my baby is deciding on coming out soon, it's been a long wait lol. My first baby, and it's a surprise! (: glad to know it's normal and everything is OK.  Was worried earlier. Cramping is still there and it hurts. But back to normal peeing lol not a pinkish or reddish discharge.
