Im not having any contractions but im having a pain in between my legs. Like its starting to hurt when I walk. And I feel a big presure in between.. I cant explain it but it hurts. Im waiting for contractions or something so I can know im going into labor but does anyone know about this pain? My doc said I was starting to dialate on thursday but it could be a while before I really dialate right? I have no idea about this stuff! Lol well if anyone can help, id appreciate it. Ill be here for a bit more. I have to get jose soon. Thanks!

Stacie I posted I did get the cards! Thank u very much! Im suprised anyone remembered! Lol.

If ur worried about the pressure, call ur doctor but im sure its just that the baby's real low.

As for dilation... It culd be anywhere from hours to weeks to dilate more. I was 1 cm for 4 weeks but I went from 3-10 cms in 1 1/2 hours.. It all depends on how your body wants to go about it. Hope u have that baby soon! Smile

Yeah its different for everybody. If you're 2-3 cm or more, some docs will put you on bed rest, so you might wanna call him. This could mean you'll pop soon, or it could mean you'll be in bed for the next 5 weeks. No telling really! Good luck!

The babies head is pushing on your canal which makes it hard to walk or sit in some positions. That happened to be for about 2 weeks. Everyone is different for dilation...The best thing to do is ask...

I had an email reminding me about your birthday!!
