To those who had internals and were 1cm or less....

Don't get discouraged!
I had internals because I found it interesting to know what was going on in there...and went in knowing it didn't mean something one way or the other.
That said last Wednesday I was closed and long. At L&D on Saturday I was short and 1cm. I was still 1cm yesterday. This morning I woke up to some much stronger than usual contractions...went to the bathroom....bloody show is here.
I've started haphazardly timing my contractions. They aren't quite 1 minute long and seem to be irregular although some are coming at 5 minute intervals. They aren't wrapping around my back and honestly feel like bad period cramps ( like the onesi got in 6th grade when I first got my period)! So...I think it is show time!!!!

I am thankful every day for my miracle after infertility.
And thrilled to be pregnant again after FET!

Thanks guys!!! They are stronger now....start in my back and move to the front...the spacing in between and durations aren't consistent , though. Some are short but some of the long ones....I can't sit down through them...I have to get up and lean and rock against a chair to get through it. It isn't so bad, though....yet!
I will say the "signs" so far have been true...bloody show...leads to contractions...had a little more bloody show ...stronger contraction and the body cleanses itself with BM's.
It's weird because yesterday , through the day I just had this intuition labor was coming !!! Same with my two week wait...around the time of implantation I knew we were expecting.
Breathe...breathe...breathe! I used a rocking chair and went for a walk. A bath also helped a lot. Don't forget to hydrate! Not hydrating makes them worse.
Lol you sound like my mom...earlier this morning I guess I was not breathing through them and she goes " BREATHE!!!" I'm going to try to nap a bit....with your DD did you give birth the same day?
Bless you for posting this!! I have had two internals and have been basically closed each time.
Good luck! Hope this is it for you and that you are holding your baby later today!!!!!
Good luck!!!

Hope this is it!!! Keep us posted on things!!!
Crap. I was late on this. I did not delved the day I went into labor. Mine was 30 hours give or take. But, it's because I didn't hydrate. I stalled my progression. After they hydrated me, my labor was over in 4 hours.
