Finally!

36 weeks as of yesterday and I finally feel like its getting closer. Went to the doctor today and I'm right under 2 cm dilated and 50% effaced. Sooo excited! Just wanted to share! :D Anyone else seeing progress that shows you're getting closer?!

That's exciting. I've had a few strong contractions today but they were very spread apart. I'm ready for the hospital. Lol. I'm too excited.

This past Tuesday at my 36 week checkup I was 80% thinned, 2 cm and she is at -1 position. Then I had contractions for 3 hours on Tuesday night, but not "strong enough" to get monitored. I would hope after those I'm even further along.

That's a long time without an ultrasound. :( I hadn't had one in a while either. They did one a couple days ago just to make sure he wasn't breeched anymore.

Yay how exciting!!! I'll be 37 weeks tomorrow and my DR. Hasn't checked either. I'm in CA, go to kaiser and also haven't had an ultrasound since my baby was 18 weeks :/.

azulita35 - good luck! I have my next appointment on Wednesday also. Hoping for more progress. (:

PurpleJ - Yes, I am in the US. They start checking at 36 weeks. Well they did with my first pregnancy and this one, at least.

mommeTina - You should ask. Just to be aware. Just gives you a little clue of how much closer you are. I'll be 37 weeks Tuesday and I've been having random contractions everyday too. Hopefully he'll be here in less than 2 weeks.
