    Turns out I was for sure getting some contractions last night along with the heartburn as I had some blood during my bathroom visits last night.  Also had an ob appointment and got a cervical check as well as my gbs test...yeah.   Please add me to the "cervical checks are horribly horribly painful" brigade.

  • @arj14 !!! I know!!! I had two in the past four days and holy ..... :s

    During the first one I actually screamed out loud and during the second one I decided I will get an epidural.  My deciding moment - all I had to do was get fingered by a doc and I knew I would rather get a needle stuck in my back.

    @yogahh yayyyy congrats and good luck!
  • Frequent BMs last night, back pain, cramping here and there, chills, and nausea. I wish I knew if this meant something. 
  • good luck, @yogahh! can't wait to read your birth announcement!

    Yesterday was the first time I had contractions that happened while laying down and standing up....up until then they only came when I was sitting down. I even had a couple of them wake me up overnight. 

    Anything out out of the ordinary is noteworthy these days :-)

  • @itsbrookejones  it could be early labor.  I'm going through the same thing. It is very dull cramping, back pain, and nausea.  
    I was reading about it and it said that's early labor and I'm dilating but once I get to 3 cm that's when active labor is going to start. Full blown contractions.

    This is where I got the info from:  
    https://www.babycentre.co.uk/a25005245/the-stages-of-labour-first-stage

    ***Disclaimer- I am not a doctor or trained medical professional. Just came across info that seems to match my situation and thought to pass it along. Everyone is different and may experience things differently.

    @yogahh so did you get the pedicure before your water broke??  :)

    I'm coming down with a cold and super cranky about it.

    Not even the potentially ambiguous kind of cold where at least I could go "ooh flu-like symptoms, maybe that means labor is coming!" Nope. No nausea or diarrhea here, this is just straight-up tonsil inflammation and sore throat garbage.

    booooo

    Hopefully it clears up soon, I really do not want to be laboring with a cold on top of everything else.

    Nausea and an upset stomach today, welcoming me to 37 weeks.  :# 

    Of course I stopped stocking the house with saltines and gingerale after 1st trimester, now it is all I want. That, and a nap. 
  • Gross TMI ahead...

    Day 4 of diarrhea :neutral: 
    Never ending...

  • @Dasha420 - Active labor doesn't necessarily start at 3 cm... I'm at 4 cm as of last Friday.

    I seriously wish it did though... If so, LO would have arrived around 2 weeks ago.

    On the cervix check thread, we came to the decision that cervix status isn't actually a good way to determine when LO will arrive.

    ^This...I've been 4 cm (probably more now) for at least a week and no active labor here.

    Just repeating what the website said. That's why I mentioned everyone is different. I'll probably be in the same boat as you ladies in the next couple days. 

    I have been thinking I'll be scared when it's time but waiting for it is making me do just that- wait. No fear here :#  

    Edited to say: if it sounds mean- its not my intention

  • @hellogoodbye2 yes I have been getting all of these kinds too. Plus a few back ones that I think (?) are also contractions. Still pregnant though!

  • I'm wondering which ones are the "good" ones and which ones are just BH's lol!

    Ughhhh I am so sorry!! I'm just getting over my cold - hoping it's gone before I go into labor too! 
  • @yogahh Good luck!!
  • @hellogoodbye2 yep to all of those!

    So, I'm in labor and have been for about 14-15 hours now. Here was my lovely timeline:

    Saturday: lost chunk of mucus plug, diarrhea began
    Sunday: diarrhea continues
    Monday: and continues
    Tuesday: and gets REALLY bad this day.
    Tuesday around 7PM: mild contractions begin - mostly feel like intense braxton hicks
    Tuesday at around 10PM: Clear mucus (possibly beginning of bloody show) comes out
    Wednesday 2:30AM: Definite bloody show, definite contractions for hours now, but haven't been timing
    Wednesday 2:30-5:30AM: started timing contractions - they last roughly 45-50 seconds occurring every 5-7 minutes
    Wednesday 8AM: More bloody show/mucus plug
    Wednesday 8:45AM: midwife appt - pass more plug there - she checks me, I'm 2cm dilated, 90% effaced, baby at -1 station.

    So, I've been in early labor now around 14ish hours. Contractions are getting muuuuch more painful now.
    @saladflambe good
    luck mama! You got this :)

    What's preventing you from eating?? Eat, girl! And good luck!!
  • @swflJD I have had bloody discharge after both of my cervical checks, which my midwife assured me is normal. My question is- how is the bloody show different? Will I know that's what it is or will it just look like this stuff that comes out after my appointments?
