40wk appt Labor Dust Appreciated!

coffeeaddiction21 · January 2010

After being dialated to 1cm for a month i'm finally at almost 2cm and am 70% effaced which is great. Last week I was 1cm and 50% effaced so i'm happy with some progress. I did decline my doctors offer to induce, and mentioned how that was the last thing I wanted to do. His comment was that he had no doubt i'd go into labor on my own. He stripped my membranes for a second time. I took a really long nap afterwards and woke up to bad diarrhea (Yes, TMI!). I have no idea why, but maybe it's a sign. I still haven't had any bloody show, lost my MP, and LO still has not dropped.

Hope things get going. Diarrhea can be a "sign"!

I read somewhere that second time mommys often don't have the LO drop until they are in the 2nd stage of labor. Tonight could still be the night!! GL and labor dust to you!!
