In your experience is excessive, hormonal weeping a sign of imminent labour?

[notnowbernard]

I have been a wailing mess this morning

Really tearful and emotional. Very PMT ish

Am overdue btw

I have no idea but bloody hope so as I'm also in a foul mood today and keen to get things going (40+3).

Even contemplating asking the midwife for a sweep when I se eher this afternoon and I hate the idea of someone rummaging around in there

No, ime excessive, hormonal weeping is a sign of being utterly fed up of being pg.

Have had a sweep already

No chance of sleep - 2 other DC to look after. Am going out in a bit though

Have deliberately not worn mascara today as am so on the brink of tears all the time

Don't remember this happening before!

Evidently it isn't...

Still no sign of labour

But feel SO much better having been out for walk/scooters in the fresh air

Nothing here either and foul mood has continued all afternoon complete with crying on DH!

Saw midwife but she wouldn't do a sweep until next Monday so looking forward to a weekend of being fed up and frustrated.....

How overdue are you??

as ib said. have lots to do before baby gets born (haven't washed my newborn stuff, cot sheets out of attic, our bedding needs a clean too...as does the kitchen, lounge...), but can't bring myself to do it ..

very moody

Am now 6 days overdue

Feel for all others who are waiting too

It's shit. Feel less emotional today though. And am going to go out again in the fresh air as that really helped my mood yesterday, and wore the DC out as well

What she said

I had to be induced with 3 of mine as i went so past my dates. I cried a lot towards the end but it was probably just 'cos i was so fed up of being so past my dates. I also had 2 sweeps with my 5th, thankfully the second one was a success and labour started about 10 hours later. One things for sure your baby arriving can't be to far away now, best of luck with it all
