Has your doctor made any comments about when you will go? Have you lost your mucus plug or had the bloody show? Are you having contractions? Do you have any guesses as to when the real show will begin?
Just bored and wondered whos with me..haha.
I am having contractions, lost the plug, had the show...I'm guessing I will go next week.
Re: 2 cm & 80% effaced...whos with me??
That's how I was with DS at 37 weeks. I never had any bloody show but I would have contrax every night that just never turned into labor. I was sure was going around 38 weeks. I had to be induced at 40 1/2 weeks!
I was 2 cm at 35 1/2 weeks this time and the doctor was like "It doesn't mean anythiing". He said if I was having contractions, he might suspect it would be sooner rather than later, especially since it's my 2nd, but he thought I'd easily make it to 38 weeks (which is what I want because I have no family in town to watch my son until I am 38 weeks).
me too, i am in the same boat, even though have been having a ton of increasingly uncomfortable BH contractions. my dr asked what I did over the weekend, um...nothing, sat on the couch and watched tv. maybe i need to pick up the activity level so she comes soon. my dh thinks she will come at 39 weeks, i am ready now!
Well the good news is that either way, if you keep progressing that's less dilation you have to deal with during painful contrax! I was only in labor 4 hours with DS because I was over 4 cm dilated when I was induced. Any progress is good progress...even if it doesn't bring your baby quicker!
