Curiosity got the best of me yesterday at my midwife appointment (at 39 weeks 4 days) and I agreed to an internal exam even though I know it means nothing as to when labor can begin. It was around 3:00 PM and I learned I was 1+ cm, 50% effaced, and at -1 station. I had a bit of spotting--pink at fir...

Just a warning: If stories of induction or ones that involve AROM, epidurals, and pitocin bother you, then feel free to skip this. So I failed to go into labor naturally before 5:30 Thursday morning, though I did continue to have contractions throughout Tuesday and Wednesday. My husband and I pulled...

I'm not sure what to think so I'm praying someone here can help. I'm 39 weeks tomorrow and have been having pelvic pressure for a while now (a week or two if not longer). For the past few hours, however, its been really terrible. This morning, I was out and walking around and was okay. I came home, ...

I said somethign to everyone and they said to see if it happens again (family, theyre nuts). Okay, so I changed my unde...

Just a little update for you ladies. I ended up getting out of the house for a little bit today. I went to go see my friend who gave birth last week (She's getting kind of lonely). I came home and everything hit me again. I had one real hard contraction that lasted for quite sometime..then no nothin...

Woke up this morning..no blood in my underwear, but still bloody showing mucus every time I wipe. The cramps are still here. It really just feels like my period is coming and Im really scared. I had a cervical check yesterday, which could have something to do with this..but I just have this feeling ...
