Could my delivery be coming sooner than August 21st?

So, a lot of people tell me that I am sitting pretty low with my pregnancy. I have felt like that too since I haven't really had any problems with indigestion or the baby kicking under my ribs much. Last night when I was laying in bed I had about 4 contractions that were definitely stronger than other ones I had had. I got pains all the way down in my groin. It felt like the baby's bony something (probably head) pushing against my pubic bones, and then it would radiate down my leg. This happened a couple times and I seriously had to think of something else to make it not hurt so much. I am hoping that this is a sign that the baby has already descended into my pelvis and that I am closer to delivery than my due date or even being overdue. I am 36 weeks tomorrow, and so almost full term. I think that my midwife will check me next week to see if I have dilated or effaced at all. Hopefully good news will come of that and we can see our baby in the next 3 weeks or so. Who knows, I am probably just getting my hopes up too early.

can't wait can't wait can't wait for her! The sooner the better as long as my new niece is healthy. And you must tell her Aunt Holly is coming to town!!

Yikes...don't talk about the pain...It scares me so. I still like to think that the stork comes...no pain.

Well, it is August 1st, we are in the same months of the due date-it is a known fact that the first baby comes when "they" want to, the second take 9 months, so with that said, I think she will come with in a few days of the due date either side, but of course, I am with you, come, baby, come!!!
