My weekly checkup update!

So I saw my OB today, and he said I'm 2-3CM dilated, and almost 50% effaced and he believes my mucus plug is almost gone, he said he doubts I'll go more than a week, because I dilate even more every appt. I go to! Yayyyy! :]

AP I seem to be following in your footsteps on how far dilated and effaced!

I have a feeling that I'm 0% effaced and 0 dilated and I'm going to drop and dilate overnight one of these days...but I'm still very early only 35 weeks :(
I'm sooooooooo tired though.
good luck girls, I hope that you all go soon and have wonderful deliveries.  I have no hope for earlier than 40 weeks :(

That's wonderful.. Sounds like it won't be long!!! I have my doctors apt today to be checked so hopefully I get some kind of good news I hope..!!! I get a scan next week to see hopefully that he turned, he is breech, I don't want to have to go through a C-section so I'm hoping my butterball turns.

I am only have a centimeter dilated and I've been that way for a week and a half, I am starting to get scared that I won't go into ;abor on my own because I'm not dilating and there isn't any change in my cervix besides the 1/2 centimeter dilation.

AP - I'm going to try having him natural, but I am not at all afraid to get an epidural if I need it! I've been nesting since 4 months, so nest away!!

Tiger - You can probably ask your OB to check you just to see how things are going, I don't see any reason why they wouldn't.

Tasia - How dilated are you now?? I might have missed a post by you, but you're almost there!

GRose - When's your next appt.?? Let us know if you start to dilate!

Good for you!!

I hope I start dilating more now that Evan is head down, my dr said that I wasn't dilating cause there was nothing really there to push down on my cervix since he was breech.

Wow! I wish my doctor checked for dilation etc at my check ups. I only get blood pressure, heartbeat and pulsing done. I wish you all the best and keep us updated to when you go in!

Kimbee- I'm soooooooooo ciked for you! Yay! OMG so we will probably go around the same time! How exciting. Have you decided if you are going to get the epidural? I thought I would give the natural route a try but with all the pain I'm having I said never mind the epidural sounds great! I'm packing my bag tonight and waiting and nesting. I can't wait! Thanks for the update....Congrats!
Hugs,
AP
