37.4 Day Doctor Appointment
Posted: 06-27-07 12:40pm

Are being effaced and thinned out the same thing?
I went to the doctor today and everything is perfect with the baby (besides her being big)
the doctor said i was 50% thinned out.. is this the same thing as being effaced? my cervix is still closed..
so is being thinned out good? could it mean anything?
just curious, that and im having really bad braxton hicks, just not with any regularity and the baby is rolling from side to side almost
oh yea and i have a bacterial infection.. woohoo for pregnancy...


hmm...i never thought shed be coming on her own.. but i guess it seems a little more possible now.

Yep, effaced and thinned are the same thing. One of the first steps to labor starting...although it could still take weeks before you actually go into labor. Sounds like it's getting really close for you!!!

I know how you feel. I'm 32 weeks along and the summer heat is really starting to make me miserable. I just want this girl outta me already!!!! Of course, I want her to go to term...but I'm sick of being pregnant. I know this sounds horrible (and I cover the baby's ears everytime I complain about it Laughing ), but I have absolutely hated being pregnant. I have been miserable from day one. It's getting even worse now with the heat and humidity...plus I'm still working a 40 hour week. Blah........

hahah i feel you.
my biggest thing is i have body image issues so it's been really tough on my ego gaining weight and all that. its just something i have to work out..
plus im so uncomfortable right now i dont know what to do with myself.

i feel like i have a finish line in sight right now which feels so good i cant even put it into words.. it makes this all feel a little bit more real.

and we got news on our house (finally!) and have a move in date..
it feels like its been a good week Smile

WOw.. how did you manage to get them to check you? I haven't been checked yet at all... GRRRRRRRRRR. I am going to make sure that they check me next week because I am getting tired of this. He is fully engaged now, hence why I waddle like a duck and feel like I have to pee every 3 minutes lol. Good luck girl.. the countdown is definitely ON!!!
