in l&d!!

I went to my 38 week appt today and when I got checked I was 3cm dilated and 100% effaced. She also said she could feel my water bag buldging so she said to go home and walk. Well after she checked me I went home and when I peed there was a lot of blood so I called the doctor and she said it was probably from her checking me. Well I went for a 30 minute walk then picked up my boyfriend from work and was having contractions every 7 to 8 minutes. Well when I got home my contractions were every 5 minutes. I called my doctor and they told me to go to the hospital. Well I'm here in labor and delivery just got the epidural (which is a life saver) and having contractions every 2 minutes. Doctor should be in soon to break my water!! Finally gonna meet my baby boy. His due date was 11/18/2014!

Try and have sex at least once a day and walk for at least 30 minutes!!! Also if you can do squats but lean on something. Your almost there!!

Did you use anything or do anything else to help you dilate other than walking??? Congratulations super exciting.... The only reason I ask tho is bc I see you said your due date was the 18th so that would make you 2 weeks early I'm 36+3 I can't wait till its time..
