Progressing :)

i Posted this in the pregnancy 18-34 forum as well

Things R starting to look good , I Had my docters appointment today and I was told I am 50 percent effaced and 1cm dialated as well as my cervix is anterior.

I am having contractions already. + I was told by my docter that she doesn't think ill make it to my due date.

I know it can still take awhile to make more progress but then again it can happen ANYDAY now.

Phewww ' I am excited and nervous

I am about ready to try ANYTHING to get this baby moving along!  I'm going to our state fair tonight after work in order to try to 'walk' her out.  I have my next appointment in the morning and i'm hoping that I will FINALLY have some type of progress.  I have a distinct feeling I will go past my due date with her though.  I have made it entirely too comfortable in there for her!

So ladies I did research about the Evening Primrose oil and cnj76 your right. There noooo way I'm going to stick something up my hooha either lol

Ill stick to walking walking walking.
Todays my sisters day off so let's see if shell agree to go walking.

Last night I couldn't sleep either I had some contractions and then I went to use the Restroom and had a "Show" . I felt a gush come out and looked in the toliet and it was all brown moucus (kinda looked like blood) TMI.
Hubby was all excited lol he was like "whoaaaa is it time" lol I was like " idk, I don't think so but I know its close though"
I kept tossing and turning and had a lot of cramping.

DESTANI I can't believe u have been dancing and it helps lol I danced for like 30 seconds in front of hubby yesterday and he looked at me like wth are u doing lmbo. I smiled and said " its the baby dancing lol not me" haha

I don't have an an appointment with my ob untill tuesday so I won't know untill then if I have dialated more. BUT what's crazy is last night I had a dream that I was already going into labor lol. :) I hope its soon

Anyone else getting the delightful shooting pains down the buttcheek and into your legs?  I get random ones where the baby must be moving and hitting my nerve just right.  All of a sudden you can't really move your leg and you look really funny as you do this corkscrew kind of move!!  At least that must  mean the baby is dropping further into my pelvis!  I really feel like I could go at any time now.  I had some pretty good contractions this morning, but of course they didn't last.  I was dilated to a tight four last Friday and I am so hoping at this Friday's appointment they will say I am even more!!!  (or better yet, I won't even make it to this Friday's appointment!)

We're getting there ladies!!

I believe I had 3 contractions this morning. I was sleeping and they woke me up. Felt like a bad period cramp. I was like woohoo even though I was so extremely sleepy. Lol... I barely got ANY sleep because we are having dish installed this morning and they were in our yard at 7:29 am... I went to sleep around 3. Kept waking up because of the cramping feeling or my cats wouldn't leave me alone Lol...


I hope this means I'm trying to dilate. I will know something in the morning after my ultrasound. Fingers crossed for SOMETHING. Lol

LMBO!! I KNOW I have patches I can feel them lolol, I cant see down there at all! Not even with a mirror! I agree I can barely get my hands anywhere near my hooha to well you know! lol  

I eat spicy all the time yea I pay for it later but I crave it and Im still prego :{ I didnt know you put the EPO in your hooha yea I'll pass!

I'll try the massages, pinapple and stairs we will see! lol

I will never do the castor oil, I still remember how bad the morning sickness was :{

I did some vigorous dancing and some very loud passionate singing and I did have a few good contractions, so Im going to keep doing that and add those other things in too! Maybe i will have a baby here soon lol!

Lol! He sounds like my DH! hahah He says that ALL the time!

There's castor oil - which I will NOT be doing. Just icky. I've got enough bowel issues being pregnant that I don't need to jug a bottle to make it worse. lol

Evening primrose oil -  you insert just before bedtime. Don't think I'll be doing that either. Just don't know about sticking things up my hoohah lol

Walking - which I do a good bit of anyway due to my cleaning habits and cannot fight the urge to sit down...

Spicy foods - they say that some believe spicy foods help but I don't know. I know a lot of us are fighting heart burn. Although I did eat pizza today and the pepperoni was kind of spicy. I have heart burn right now and did have a few cramps.

Massages - for your ankles and such. I don't know if that works either but won't know if you don't try, right? lol

Pineapple - I don't know if this is an old wives tale or not. I've eaten it several times throughout this pregnancy and nada.

Stairs - Now I know this will help with some things... But, I don't know if it's help me yet. Won't know till Thursday Lol

Those are all I can think of right now.
