Baby boy is moving around like CRAZY this afternoon. I can't help but delude myself into thinking this means he's starting his exit. I know it doesn't mean anything, but a gal can hope ...

@aprk: fx'd for you!
Our month is coming close to the end! Can't believe it!

Well I wasn't too far off - due date is today and I'm 3 cm dilated, 60% effaced. Had an NST and apparently I'm contracting every 7.5 minutes! Don't think it will necessarily be today, but maybe in the next few days??!!

@aprk: Yay!! Hope we hear something soon.
I'm still here. And nothing is happening yet.....LETS GO BABY! Hopefully something happens in the next few days becasue I am starting to get pretty emotional (aka crying hysterically this morning because I forgot something stupid for a work meeting) and cranky(my poor DH)... yikes!

@aprk: how exciting! Good luck!
@cheert16: fingers crossed things start to happen soon!

@aprk: omg I can't believe you don't really feel anything! I think I felt like I was dying by 3cm! Hopefully you feel some progress soon!
@cheert16: c'mon baby!

@shopaholic: I can feel the contractions and I've been having cramping for weeks now, but it never really bothered me. I just assumed they were BH. I have a pretty high tolerance for pain so I'm curious how the rest of this progresses!

@aprk: I'm jealous of your pain tolerance! I don't know exactly when I was at 3 cm, but when I got to the hospital, I was between 3 and 4 cm (or was it 4 and 5... I can't remember) and the contractions were definitely uncomfortable, but not SUPER painful yet.

@Adira: the only issue is what if I wait *too* long to go to the hospital? I'm glad I have a doula, I just need to be really mindful of my body so I can call her in time! I'm guessing it will ramp up during active labor and I'll definitely feel it
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@aprk: haha, yeah, I'm sure you'll be fine. We were told to go when my contractions were 5 minutes apart, lasting 1 minute each, for an hour. So if you feel like your contractions get like that, I would definitely think you need to go! I'm so excited for you!
pomegranate / 3452 posts
@Adira: good point. The contractions are still pretty quick, maybe only 20 seconds long at the most.
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@aprk: Yeah, when mine were like that, they weren't super painful yet, so I'm guessing you still have time!!

@aprk: I was almost 3cm on Thursday and then Sunday night when I got to the hospital after my water broke, I was at 3 still. And I wasn't even having contractions yet. I was at 5 cm when I got the epidural. I hope your contractions get faster and today is the day!
bananas / 9973 posts
@aprk: oh, maybe that's the difference. By the time I was at 3cm, they were 1 1/2 min. long, 2min. apart.
pomegranate / 3452 posts
Ok I timed the contractions for a bit - lasting about a minute but more spaced out (not consistently at 7.5 minutes apart)
I'm predicting by Saturday!

My baby is basically never coming! Had a Dr appt today and 0% everything. We are looking at 1-2 weeks late according to the Dr. So my baby will def be an April baby. I was disappointed, but I guess he will come when he is ready! Maybe he will surprise me tomorrow or Sunday and things will move fast- hopefully I don't have to go to my 2 dr appts next week!

@shopaholic: Yup! Thanks for posting here. I couldn't find this thread when I was in the hospital so I didn't post here.
Viviana Wren, March 26.

@cheert16: also, don't feel too badly. I was 3 cm and 60% on Wednesday and had a few days of contractions but no sustainable pattern. So I'm right there waiting with you!
