Question and a comment..

This is my second child, but my first in 8 yrs..so i'm reliving some of this as if it's the first time..

tomorrow i will i am now 36 weeks.. with a breech baby and a scheduled csection for 39 weeks, so I have at the very most 3weeks left to go.. if she doesn't come on her own before then..

here's my question.. is there anyway to approximate when you may go into labor? *please forgive me if this is a stupid question.. but i honestly don't know.. my first child was induced* or do you just walk around handling life and then out of the blue start feeling cramps or your water breaks? are there any indications that it's about to happen? i feel so held hostage right now.. every little pain i feel i wonder if that's the 'big one'. and it doesn't help that baby is breech and likes to stretch my already taut stomach even further..

any signs I can start watching for? or websites i can go read up on?

Re: Question and a comment..

in my experience, the answer is NO. I guess sometimes you may have some indicators: losing your mucus plug, dliation, etc. But none are sure signs of immediate labor.

I was 10 days late with #1 - talk about being held hostage! I went 1 day early with #2. Didn't really feel any differently with either of them until the contractions began (my water never broke).
