Congratulations!  I am 39wks and 6days with my first. Lost my mucus plug about 5days ago and I was 2cm since last monday. Can't wait to meet this baby already!  How are you feeling after the c section.  I've heard many different stories. That some women can't do anything other than sleep for 3wks. Then others say it is easier and you're able to breast feed. Idk anymore
