38 Week Appt! First Internal! OMG!
40+ weekers please dont hate me!!
So I had my first internal today at 38wk/1day, I have been saying since last week I am scared to go because they are going to tell me im like 4cm dialated or something, and it's my boyfriends birthday today.
IM 4CM DIALATED!!! OMG!! 70% effaced, and she is at -2 station!
The dr. could not believe that I havent been having contractions, I think she was trying to decide whether to send me to the hospital or not, but she said since im not have contractions then to go home but if I start having them even 7 minutes apart for an hour to go straight to the hospital.
The baby's bag is packed, mine is half done, so now I need to do laundry cause this could happen at anytime. As much as I want her to hold on for 2 more weeks I dont think its going to happen.

Very exciting! You may be having contractions and not noticing them.
I did have a friend who was 4cm dilated for 3 weeks though, so don't get your hopes up too high or you'll drive yourself crazy!
I'd be okay if she held out until my due date! Its so weird that im not feeling extra pressure or anything! I was really really hoping for an October baby, so we'll see.
Just a warning that I was at that same place at 36 weeks and I'm still here. Just don't want you to be disappointed!
