Pre-labour signs in a second birth??

I'm 39 weeks today and I've just passed the day that my first son was born. For some reason this has thrown me into a panic that I'm going to end up with a horrific birth with loads of problems.....I'm not sure why as my first birth was pretty OK really. But I am where I am!

Something I have been concerned about is that for about a week on the lead up to my last birth I had loads of vaginal discharge (like rivers of the stuff!!) leading up to a show. This was accompanied by load of Braxton Hicks and cramps.

This time I've had quite a lot of BH and cramps and at times definitely had the 'is this it' type thoughts. However I haven't had the same amount of discharge at all. Which is leading me to think that I'm still ages away from the birth!!

Any thoughts??

PS It would be nice if I could do all the 'let go of control' and let things happen of there own accord.....but I'm struggling to do that just now and instead I'm feeling horrid and in a bit of a panic.

PPS Pregnancy nausea has returned and getting worse which is also making me feel miserable!

Hi the only thing I can say is my son was born 8 days after my first 'this is it' feeling. I was so convinced with my first 'this is it' that we called the grandparents down to look after my DD at 11pm at night and they live 2 hours away!! It never happened that night but 8 nights later. Good luck and just because we've been there once doesn't make us experts the second time round
