August moms!

How far dialated are you? And what are you experiencing as far as pain, aches or labor scares! I'm just curious because I'm 36wks today and no signs of anything. I lost pieces of my mucus plug a little over a week ago, but no contractions or cramping. I'm convinced my uterus doesn't work on its own. I had to be induced with my first! I won't get checked until Tuesday, I'll be 36+5.

Hey does anyone else randomly feel pain where your ovaries would usually sit? I've been getting pain there early in the morning or when I'm laying down and go to roll over

@rosielove, drink it!? I never heard of drinking primrose oil! Odd. And you had contractions that early, wow. So imagine labor would be smooth and quick for you.

@laurabonita, same with me! My water stated leaking in the middle of the night and the one and only contraction I felt was right when I was getting the epidural. I had him vaginal tho.
@cherishness, why are they deciding to induce you? Just curious!

Lol so many similarities! Well with my son I didnt feel any contractions until I was 6cm I got admitted to l&b bcuz my water broke and it wasnt til the next day that I opened to 6 and felt the contractions...I ended up having an emergency c section bcuz I pushed for 4 hours after I opened to 10 and the baby just wouldn't come out :/ and this time im having a scheduled c section bcuz I have an abnormal placenta

@Iaurabonita, I get checked for the first time on Tuesday too. 36+5 , I also had my son at 38wks. Strange! But I haven't had anything, no tightening, maybe a cramp here and there but that's it! I'm really going to ask my doctor if I should be concerned. Especially if I'm not dialated any by Tuesday :/

Ugh, everyone is contracting but me!! I'm really starting to worry, something is wrong with my uterus! And this is my second pregnancy, so I figured my body would know what to do by now! What all have you ladies been doing for progression? I walk thirty minutes a day, drink two cups of red raspberry leaf tea a day, and primrose oil! I'm getting frustrated!

Im 38 weeks today, have been having contractions on and off for 2 days. Just about an hour ago I had some really painful ones but they slowed down. I have an appointment this afternoon, last week I was not dialted at all. So, we will see :)

37+5.. dialated to a 1. Some contractions and really bad back pain that feels like pinched nerves. I can't decide whether I want to be induced in 12 days or let nature take its course..

I am 38 weeks and 3 days and I just now had some progress. Doc told me yesterday I am very soft and 1cm but he is floating way up there so hes not putting pressure on my cervix. She said if I can just get pressure on my cervix Im so soft labor should start soon. We will see he is stubborn.

@kimboo, maybe you've progressed since then! What made you go in, like were they real painful or just not going away? Are you still contracting? I'm just curious because I never contracted with my son, just started leaking and had to be induced.

Oh,I know that is frustrating! I have no signs of any progress! I delivered my son at 38wks, soo I was hoping around the same time with her. Have you tried any thing to help you move along? Like primrose oil, or herbal teas?

I'm 37+5 and I just found out Monday I'm 50% effective and 1 1/2cm dilated. Went to the hospital last night because I was having contractions but she sent me home because she said I wasn't changing.

I'm currently 37+6, plug lost and baby dropped and was checked yesterday at 2cm still. I've been having horrible contractions that wrap around to my back since week 34 and have been stuck at 2cm since then so they are strongly pushing the induction choice.
