Full term neuroses

[rbp]

I know I'm not technically "full-term" until 39 weeks, but I'm at the point where I feel like the baby could reasonably come at any time (38w). I analyze every feeling I have and wonder whether it's the beginning of labor. (So far it's just been that I overate. LOL)

This morning I had a trickle of fluid on the way to the bathroom. I'm pretty sure I peed on myself.  :? It's hard to hop to the bathroom when I really have to go! Nothing else has come out in 2.5 hours, so I'm assuming it wasn't my water breaking...

I'm not even ready for this baby to come, so I panic a little bit every time I think I might have a sign of labor. Any other nearly full-term ladies overanalyzing everything??

Absolutely over analyzing everything. We're about 2.5 hours away from home this weekend (with my doctor's blessing, well, at least he blessed it before he knew baby was breech. I didn't ask again. ), and it's made me a little nervous about going into labor/making it home/delivering her here, etc. I think it'll all be fine. But, she was going crazy moving while we were at a dueling piano bar last night, and I was afraid that with her dancing, she'd kick down and break my water. Ha!

I drove myself nuts. TMI, but I had a lot of watery discharge once I got close to fullterm and there were quite a few times I laid down to see if it was fluid. One time I even had the nurse check when I was in for a NST and felt embarrassed when the test was negative.

My google history is full of ridiculous things like is my nose itching a sign of labor. Lol

I'm definitely over analyzing everything. Even though I have an induction scheduled (and I'm guessing, will likely not go into labor before then) I keep thinking "what was that? Does that mean something?".

I had tons of watery discharge too and kept wondering if it was my water breaking too!  Also I kept waking up in the middle of the night convinced my water had broken when I was in fact just super sweaty.

Story of my life right now. 39w today

Add that my DS was 10 days early and my mom went earlier and earlier with all her babies I've felt done for a while.

At my appt this week the nurse asked of in had any bleeding or cramping and laughed when I answered "sadly, no"

I feel like I'm over-analyzing every little thing too. I also have a lot of watery discharge that is constantly catching me off guard. Its such a mind game! Plus LO is so low that any pain has me thinking OMG is this it?! It'll almost be a relief to actually go in to labor just so I can stop feeling so on edge. Im not really ready to be finished being pregnant but at the same time I'm ready to meet her. Here's hoping none of us have to wait too much longer!

Me! I had DD at 38w, 3d. I am 38 w, 4d today- so one day more pregnant than I've ever been! I feel like it could happen anytime, anywhere and am particularly paranoid about my water breaking in public.

Such a relief to see that the watery discharge is common! I'm 38 weeks 3 days today and it started a few days ago. I've been on edge too, but hoping nothing happens until Friday at least because my dr is on vacation!

Only 36 weeks here, but I've been having intense BHs for a while. I also have a lot of watery discharge, and my OB is convinced I'll go into labor sooner rather than later.
