Is It Starting

sooo ready - November 1

I am 39 weeks, 3 cm and 50% effaced. I woke up this morning with uncomfortable tightening/cramping of my lower abdomen/back...this has been coming and going all day but not getting worse. I don't have any other signs though (waters not broke, no show)...is it starting or am I just being crazy!!

Me too! I'm 39 weeks 1 day. My doctor stripped my membranes yesterday because I wasn't feeling any contractions, but I am 3 - 4 cm dilated. Now all I feel is an occasional lower back ache, menstrual cramps, or slight nausea. I did lose my plug this morning too. I just wish I knew what I was supposed to be feeling!

 

so ready (jenn) - November 1

Okay...so I still have the cramps, it is getting worse, but it's not like contractions...just a constant. I am praying that this will progress. I keep re-reading the same lines over and over from my baby books...LOL..."when to go to the hospital"...I know exactly how you feel Kim...I wish I knew what was happening. Fingers Crossed!!

I know how you feel. I am too ready to delivery this baby. I am 39 weeks and had my membranes stripped six days ago and nothing has happened. I lost my mucus plug four days ago and still nothing. I am already 3 cm dilated and 75% effaced and is having tighting of the stomach, cramps and occasional hot flashes, but nothing to get too excited about!
