September mommies! are you dilated or effaced? when are you due?

Dilation? effacement? Due date? Just wondering where everyone is and how they are feeling!! I am 1/2 cm dilated and 1/3 effaced and have 15 days to go, just some cramping and hip pain and trouble sleeping! So anxious to meet my baby!

I was about .5 cm and 40% effaced at 36 weeks. I declined a check at 37 weeks but will be getting one on Monday at my 38 week appt. I'm so ready to meet my son! 16 days left til my EDD so if he waits it out I could go up to 23 days :^/ Praying he comes before then.

I have 25 days left. I had my week 36 appointment yesterday but they didn't check. All they did was the group B culture. I'm definitely getting the hip cramping and lots of Braxton Hicks. Other than that I feel great :)

When i was leaving the nurse said ill be seeing u soon. I was like ok.

Due date according to my ultra sound done in the second trimester is in 10 days, can't sleep either from hip pain, but keep having contractions off and on. My doc has yet to check to see if dilated or anything, only measures my belly and listens to heart. Doc appointment on Tuesday and I'll be 39 weeks so hopefully they check this time. With my daughter I was checked from 36 weeks on every week. Grrr...
