Wow your 4-5 centimeters dilated and they didn't admit.?  My doctor admits at a 4 and then if labor doesn't progress she gives the cervadil to move things along.

Yup. I called the doctor and they said that the cramping and feeling sick are signs of getting ready for labor. All i need is for these contractions to pick up and be well more painful lol

I've been feeling nauseous the past couple days and today I feel like I'm about to start my period. My stomach just doesn't feel right. Some contractions but like usual nothing serious. So much anxiety!!!!!

I've heard that too, so I really hope that's what it is. And I know what you mean, it's so close but it feels like it's taking forever, it's draginggggg by. I'm more than ready to meet my little man & I'm about to go insane from waiting lol.

Yeah you definitely have signs of early labor, active labor shouldn't be all that far away for you :). I'm 39w3d & as of last week I was 4-5cm dilated & 90% effaced & little man is really low. I've been having to go to the restroom more frequently & I've been getting nauseous spells. I haven't noticed if I've lost my mucous plug yet, but I've had lots of clear  mucousy discharge.
