Could it be it :)

This could be it. I am 38 weeks and 1 day. Yesterday I was 3 cm dilated and at least 50% effaced. I forgot to ask about that but two weeks ago I was 50%   so I am sure I progessed. The doctor swept my membranes. Yay. I have had a lot of cramping. Some bleeding. And lost a ton more of mucus plug. Now I am have contractions about every 15 mins. So excited and ready to go. :)

Thanks. I am beyond excited. :) And no it did not hurt. It was slightly uncomfortable but since I was already open to a 3 cm it helped a lot. He used his fingers and stretch my cervix open more and that was a little pinch. And then he used his finger to push my water bag away from the wall and I just felt his fingers moving around.. no pain. :)
