You got this ladies! I believe in you! Everyone born by March!
Unrelated-after this week or the week after, what do we want this thread to become? We already have a good recovery thread going. Maybe something related to what the babies are up to and their milestones?
Re: Symptoms and Labor Watch 2/21/17
@Xstatic3333 I think a milestone thread sounds pretty good!;
I'm just over here having a pity party and being jealous of all the cute outside babies. I know it's not that much longer but right now it feels so far away.
Good luck to all the still pregnants!

i think I already told you but the day I went into labor (with DD, the first pregnancy) I had ZERO dilation at my 4:30 appointment and had a baby in my arms like 6 hours later. So don't get discouraged, that LEEP might make it go from 0-10 in no time at all!

Had my 40w appointment this morning. Progress happened this week guys - I'm at 4cm!!! They scheduled an induction for this Thursday (as in 2 days from now eek) after trying to schedule for next Monday and they were all booked. Since I'm already at 4cm and I'm overdue, my doctor wanted it sooner rather than later. She did a mini-sweep I guess and I've had my show already so I'm freaking out! But so happy there is light at the end of the tunnel, finally.

I have been in the hospital for surgeries before though and I can tell you I used to be scared of needles and would actually pass out when getting blood drawn but after spending the week in a hospital for a surgery I got over that fear. The nurses do this stuff every day and most of them are great. They can tell when you are nervous and will do what they can to relax you and make the process as easy as possible on you. If you want to just give them a heads up that you are nervous I'm sure it wouldn't hurt. My experience is just with the general nurses so I bet the ones that work with women in labor and babies are even better at calming down nervous people.
Whenever I do get a little more nervous I just keep telling myself that I can do this and when it's actually time there will be DH, nurses, and doctors around to help remind me of that when I forget. You've totally got this!
