Q: Anxious First Time Mommy

I am 39wks 4days pregnant as of today, and yesterday at my ob appointment I was 90ïfaced, 1cm dilated, and baby's at -1station...I had my membranes stripped and this has caused a few more slight contractions (nothing painful). Adding all of my info together and the fact that I am due in like 4 days...How close am I to actual labor?? Compared of course to first time mom's experience ... I am just so anxious to have my baby that I want it to come tomorrow!! :p

Oh I know how you feel. I am already 2 and 1/2 cm I might be more I have been checked in two weeks. I go tomrrow and I hope that he will tell me that I am more dilated. I am also at station 2 I think that rights. I might be wrong I will know for sure tomrrow.

I would say that if you are due in four days that you will prob see your baby pretty soon then. If you dont have it by then you can do like me and get induced. I am getting induced on the day before my duedate crazy I know but that way I am hoping she will be born on the 14 which is wheni am due.. I wish you all the luck. I will send you some labor dust....

Lucky you getting induced on your date like that, my Dr. Said that she wont let me be induced any time before or on my date :p I have scheduled an induction for the 21st of this month...11 days past my due date!!!!! That's gonna drive me crazy....


I think that today im having more contractions, not sure if they are real or not though, because im not in any pain, just can feel tightening of my uterus and sometimes slight cramping...Also think I lost mucus plug (grosso) but not sure about that either, sometimes I wish that I could just bring the doctor home with me so that I can be like "what's this, what's that, am I in labor?" lol that would be so great, then I wouldnt feel so stupid about this whole experience!!
