i'm 36 weeks and 5 days and i havent been checked for any of that stuff! :(
im so over this pregnancy im so happy my baby is healthy but I never found out the sex of my baby.... the baby never cooperated ....now my DR doesnt even check me for dilation so I have no idea as to what progress my body is making if any im due on sunday and im just sooo frustrated arrghhhhh
I was 2cm dilated and 10% effaced for a week. Then I was 2cm and 90% effaced for another week. I had mucus the whole time. Then came the baby! I had a bloody show the day before labor, so I'd say if you see blood then the baby is on its way. congrats!
