Is labor on the way??

ourfirstbaby4

I'm almost 37 weeks and at my 36 week check I was 4cm dilated, 70% effaced and head is at 0 station with obviously no mucous plug. With my first my water just broke the morning I turned 37 weeks so I have no idea what to expect this time. Anyone experience this before?

diagonalley

Well baby has to come at some point...so yes.

ElTrain5

Your baby will arrive in 197 hours and 34 minutes. Trust me, I have a fifth sense.

babygabe614

Aw man, right when I'm going to bed too... at least I'll have something to read at work tomorrow.

ourfirstbaby4

Well thanks for the smart ass comments. I asked for anyone that has experienced something similar. I know I will eventually go into labor. I swear some ppl need to take their parents advice and say nothing if they have nothing positive to say.

Darlin some people also need to realize there ARE such things are silly questions.

jshrop

Oh lord. You asked, they answered. Considering you are seeing your own pregnancies be different why do you think yours would be similar to someone else's?


But seriously, I never went into labor. It was forced on my body. Maybe that means I didn't actually have this kid... Shit.... Is this real lyfe?

I'm curious as to why "obviously" no mucous plug...those suckers come and go. I've been losing mine for weeks now...either I had the biggest mp ever or its been regenerating, you know, like they do.

diagonalley

What's negative about saying you will have a baby? It'd be far more negative to say baby will stay in there foreva. I imagine at this point pregnancy is pretty uncomfortable.

Guise, stop being so mean! She just wanted an unrealistically accurate answer to her dumbass question. Why won't anyone help her?

....not to mention this is like the 538482826th time this month the question "I'm --cm dilated and --% effaced at --weeks. Anyone experience something similar and when did you go into labor." We're all at the end and one person having those numbers has no influence on what another woman will experience. Also, no one can know when anyone's water will break or when labor will start so can we please stop asking this question.

shellbell813

Wait, so if your water hadn't broken last time, you WOULD know what to expect? None of us know what to expect either... And even if someone had the exact same situation as you, they wouldn't know what to expect your body to do either.

OP, this.  You are just one of many drive by "am I going into labor" posters.  It is always a failing post - but at least you haven't failed alone.

I just want my kids to be half this cool

A whole herd of snatchosauruses on the bump today. If you don't like the question, don't answer it. The OP is here for support toward the end of preganacy. Go ahead and Gif the piss out of the message board and make yourselves feel awesome. Congratulations, you made a pregnant stranger feel bad! I'm gonna pop on over to the thread where you're all posting about your anus pressure and shits...I find that much more appealing than reading this.

Not just today - we are here all week.

haypu

We are here all week? What, are there multitudes of you who sit around the same computer searching for people to attack? ....And I'm sure you actually will be here everyday-- all day! You've posted over 600 times and have made 5,500 replies. This really does afford you the additional privilege of douchedom! By all means, I didn't mean to distract you from your goal of chewing off the toes of the OP. Carry on with your bullyish personality and internet addiction.

@haypu Mod here. Time to slow your roll on the name calling.

haypu

I am being a bit of a bully, aren't I? There is never an excuse for making people feel bad for the fun of it. Not even out of reaction to watching it happen to a single person over the period of several days by the masses. Can I chalk it up to being huge and uncomfortable and snarky? Maybe I'll get an award.

BabyPsychic

Pssst... she was making a joke. And it's kiiiind of hard to take your criticism of how much time chickpea spends on TB when you, in fact, also have to be on TB to reply to her. And apparently take the time to see how much she posted. Have a Xanax.

haypu

I should take medication. My mental health is clearly questionable! I'll go see if xanax is on my list of pregnancy safe medications.

Let me know, because I could use some.

Haha - thanks! I never even said anything to the OP, was just making a joke! And considering I've been a member of TheKnot/TheNest/TheBump since forever, I feel like my numbers are a bit lacking.

But wow, so that was a fun way to wake up after my one three hour stint of sleep tonight.

Did you know that 0.001 percent of pregnancies can last two years or more?  Seriously - I asked the internet and that's what it told me!

Grow up, stop being butthurt, and if you have actual medical questions ask your doctor, not a bunch of internet strangers.

I read this in the middle of the night and pulled one of these.

Wait what?  .001% of HUMAN pregnancies can last that long???

Nope.

No.

No no no no.  I refuse to believe it.
