Hi everyone... Im back (if anyone
remembers hehe) I went to the doctor the
other day... Im in my 36th week now and
she found out that im already 2 cm open..
Does this mean I could go to labor
anytime?? However, my due date is up
until september 20... Im also having
light crampings at night (like having my
period)... I just want to know if a
pregnant woman dilates would mean going to
labor anytime soon even if its this early
just like my situation... Thanks a lot!

I was at 2 or 3 cm with all my kids when I
went into full labor. I did have b/h
contractions with the last 2. But id say
you could possibly go all the way to due
date or you might go into labor early.
Have you lost mucus plug?? Do you know
what it is, what to look for??

I don't really know if I already lost
it... I use panty liners all the time
because im having little discharge
sometimes.. So I didn't really notice and
it might have absorbed it.. What color is
it? Is it bloodlike? But what you're
saying about going to labor anytime soon
is just a possibility right? And I might
go to full term? Thanks for the info..

Well what I remember was that when I was
dialated I was sent to the hopital and
well I delivered my baby at 36 weeks like
3 weeks early but it can happen if you
walk alot you can dialte more but I guess
were all different.

Thanks (mama17)... It's funny, I tend to
go out more these days and walk a lot..
Like walking the whole afternoon at the
mall (i get bored easily at home).. I
heard on these weeks I should be more on
resting... Is it bad to travel or walk a
lot around this stage? My family have
plans of traveling this coming labor day
weekend.. Is it ok for me to come? Its
about 2 hour drive..

The mucus plug is like a "snotty large
slimy blub of gunk"
you wipe and wipe be4 you get it all out.
You would notice. Some pple comes
earlier on, but mostly comes around 2
weeks from birth. Some times a indicater
for when baby is coming--usually expelled
2 weeks before baby comes.

In my opinion I think that you should not
go if its too far out because anything can
happen at any given moment and you should
be as close to a hospital as possiable but
that's waht I was told when I wanted to go
out of town but that's my opinion just be
very careful if you were to decide to go
anywhere I don't want to spoil anything
just becareful with whatever you decide
okay.

Just reading what (fatfamily02) said I do
remember getting that or that happening to
me it happend when I was in the hospital I
did not know that ment that the baby was a
couple weeks away. Too bad I had her 2 or
3 weeks early.
