I am 37 weeks and 2 days. I went to my doctor Thursday and was 2cm dilated and she could feel my baby's head. I'm a first time mom, so I don't know what to expect. I think I lost my mucous plug yesterday and now keep having brownish colored blood on my panty liner. Should I call my doctor? Is labour very soon? I also have contractions sporadically and back lower back pain.

View 2 RepliesI am 37 weeks 2 days and Im 1cm dilated but I wanna speed things up, any natural ways to help induce labour that actually works
View 4 RepliesI'm 36+4 (second pregnancy, first was a miscarriage at 10 weeks) I'm absolutely terrified of Labour as I don't know what to expect. I know I'm probably being stupid but I just need reassurance has anyone been this scared for Labour? How bad can it be..
View 2 RepliesSo today I had my weekly check up, and I have been having some really bad pains and a lot of pressure. Last week I was still closed and not dilated at all, and I told my Dr about the cramping and sharp pains and pressure I've been having and she checked me. I am 1 cm dilated and it hurt when she went to check me and the baby and I both jumped and I said ouch, and she said sorry I touched his head?! Then she hooked me up to the monitors and I was having contractions. She said if they got any worse to call her and I'll have to go to the hospital. Any advice? I'm sooo uncomfortable and I want him out! I'm in so much pain! It's hurts to sit, lay down, get up, walk!!! If I went into labor do you think he will be.okay since I'm only 36 weeks today?

View 6 RepliesI had a Dr's appt last week and had dilated 1.5 cm...later that week I was having mild contractions and went back to labor and delivery and had dilated to 3 cm but was sent home...at what point will they keep you?
View 3 RepliesSo I went in today for my regular check up and found out I'm 1 cm dilated. Doctor told me she gives me until 36 weeks to go into labor, which kind of scares me because I wanna make it until 38 weeks. Any suggestions? Or anyone else have early labor
View 1 RepliesSo today at my 39th week appointment they checked me and said i was 4 cm and my cervix is soft, also had a sweep. Last week did not work. But praying it dose this time.Anyways anyone been 4 cm and go pass their due date that dilated? Mine is on Saturday.
View 1 RepliesLol I'm 1/2 a cm dilated! But doctor said my cervix is really soft and that's good for when contractions start! Don't think baby's coming anytime soon but I actually want to go all the way to 40 weeks.
View 3 RepliesI'm currently 33 weeks and 4 days along. I went to my appointment Thursday and was told that I'm already 1cm at the back of my cervix. My Dr said that it's still firm and closed shut in the center and front but it's still too early for me to be dilated. Should I be worried (I am already) and what can I do to avoid dilating anymore until I'm in the safe zone at 37 weeks?
View 8 RepliesI am in week 38+2. I had my doctor's appointment yesterday and she told me that even though the baby is in right position ( been that way for weeks now) she hasn't dropped at all. Also, there is no effacement or dilation. I keep reading in this forum about other members being dilated so early on. Is it normal to not to be? I take long walks despite of sciatica pain. Is there anything else I can do to at least have the baby by due date, if not earlier.

View 14 RepliesIs this a sign of labour? I'm booked in on Monday to have my c-section and finally meet my little girl but I started getting diarrhoea today?
View 2 RepliesIm 39+6 and had a sweep this morning. Turns out at my sweep I was already 3cm dilated.
Midwife has said just go home and see what happens but could still be a few days until anything happens.
Since getting home I've had constant cramps. Is this the start of it all?
Has anyone had a similar experience? Or after having a sweep how long until you went into labour?
I am 38 weeks and have been having pain and tightenings for about a week some intense and all over back buttocks and lower abdomen some mild like period pains. Have been reading forums online and people have gone into their birth centre with no contractions.
View 2 RepliesSo I went to the Dr today an I'm measuring a little over 3 wks a heads. Has anyone had time an went into labor early? Are the chances any higher? This Is my 3rd
View 3 RepliesIs that normal? And my doctor even told me he's really hairy... How is that possible she could tell he's hairy? Lol sounds like a dumb question but yeah I'm a ftm.
View 4 RepliesWeird thing is that I haven't been having any contractions. I know what to do to bring them on and I've been walking but no contractions still. I was on bedrest but my Dr told me that's my baby girl is ready and I may as well be active as possible to get the labor process going.
View 8 RepliesFirst time mom, and just had my 36 week checkup. Dr told me I'm already 2 cm and 75% effaced. I honestly didn't even realize I had been having contractions. I'm excited to see my baby. Should I try to walk or otherwise encourage labor to start or just cool my heels? I've never been good at waiting for things, lol.
