40 + 1 today and losing hope (again). Everyone predicted this baby would come early and yet here I am. Went in for acupuncture yesterday and tried some evening primrose oil that was recommended to me. Woke up at 4am and lost great big chunks of my mucus plug then couldn't get back to sleep because of horrible menstrual like cramps. Finally got up out of bed because I was so uncomfortable. The crampiness has subsided, but now having strong contractions, although not necessarily painful. Took the dog for a walk and was having crazy amounts of pelvic pressure with every step. Please let this be the start of labor!!! I can't take waiting anymore!
