Anyone else in pre-labour limbo?

I am and it's a bit dull. Anyone else in the same limbo and want to share a moan?

Had a night of contractions on Saturday night (37 weeks) and frantically scrabbled to get bag ready, toddler looked after, baby stuff down from loft only for it to all wear off again. Another night of contractions on Monday night but again nothing in daytime.

I am knackered now, finding it hard to do anything active (or even walk far) and slightly dismayed that this could go on for weeks... Feeling very 'done' with pregnancy even though I am still 2.5 weeks off 'full term'. And equally, pretty unprepared still for birth or a newborn!

Hi all, i am 39+2 with dc2 and have no signs of any note. I wouldn't be so bothered if dc1 hadn't come so quickly at 38+4. I had no prelabour signs, my waters went one hour before my first contraction, he wasn't even engaged at the previous mw appt three days earlier and he was in my arms within 10 hours.

This one is at least 3/5 engaged and I get the occasional faint period pain. But I am too big to play properly with ds and feel like a sloth!
