30 +4 here and have a bruised rib right where my bra hits it. Doc thinks I'm going to go between 35-37 weeks due to a huge fibroid. Thisus imy first and having a girl. Trying to stay calm and just roll with everything. Nervous especially since I was told to expect to start natural and go emergency c section.
Iam from TEXAS and i also was checked because i have a history of preterm labor. 1st at 35 weeks hes 2 now. 2nd 36/6 Hes in heaven but not bcuz ofpreterm he had a heart disease and past May 2012 at 4 months old. Now 36/2 with my lil.girl...have been getting shots since 21 weeks to.prevent preterm labor. Was told they start checking at 35 weeks. Now i go every week untill she's here.
I live in California & I was checked due to my history of losses & because I have large babies.
Can I just ask where u guys are from? I've never heard of midwife checking if you are dilated or not and just curious to y u was checked or if it's routine as in UK they don't? X
I'm 37w today, been at 2cm for about 2 weeks now. Dr did a membrane sweep & cervix stretch on Thurs., been having some contractions since then but nothing regular. I go back on Monday to do it again & then again on Friday if no baby. Haven't lost my plug yet either. Hoping something happens soon. :)
Lucky! Im 36wks & 4days & I havent dilated any & I havent lost my mucus plug yet! Im getting so inpatient :( this is my first & im having a lil boy!
