37 weeks pg, and this home stretch is killing me! I'm exhausted, poopy and having little Braxton Hicks cramps all day. Anyone ever have first born come two or three weeks early? I walk everywhere and would welcome an early arrival!

  - were there any big signs, or did he/she just pop out? My boy is kicking like crazy, I'm extra mucasy down there (sorry, TMI, but...) and skin is going bonkers.

    - Well I went into labor six weeks early (then spent a week on bed rest) so that was kind of a sign

- God, I know how you feel. I just had my second db three weeks ago. My first came 10 days early. My second came seven days early. I walked and walked and walked before both. With first, water broke while walking. With second, I took a three hour walk on Saturday which really got the BH contractions going, then walked a bit more on Sunday and labor started. I know how you feel--like it will never end. But it will and your baby will be here soon. I'm holding mine right now!

- My sisters had all their babies early so I thought I would too. I hit my due date and cried and cried because I felt like I was already 3 weeks overdue. The stubborn child came 5 days later. Moral of the story: there's no telling.
