Dialating

Hey, Im 36 weeks today (measuring 38), I went to the doctors today for my weekly checkup. Last week my cervix was still "long" and i wasnt dialated. This week im 75% effaced and 1 cm dialated. I think i lost my plug a few days ago. Ive just had alot more discharge. Well to tell you the truth i havent had any discharge this whole pregnancy till a few days ago. Im concerned because my mom has had really really easy and quick birth. She almost had myself and my brother in the toilet, litterally, she thought she had to do a BM. She didnt have labor pain, she was only 2cm's dialated with me when she wanted to start pushing, so she went to the hospital and 2hrs later she had me. With my brother she was 7 cm's dialated by the time she got to the hospital, and again she was only pushing for about 10 mins. She did it all natural no drugs at all, she didnt need them since she had very little pain. If anyone could help me figure out what i should watch for, or what i should be doing that would be great. Ive had mild menstrual cramping, thats about it. Not really any BH or anything (that i know). I went to the hospital about a month ago for fetal movement (she was moving lots), but i guess i was contracting but i couldnt feel them at all. Apparently the baby's head is engaged too. HELP!!!!

Hey this is my first time pregnancy so I am very new to all the stuff that goes on in our bodies. I was 36 weeks yesterday and I had to go in on Tuesday for no fetal movement. Everything turned out fine. For the last couple weeks the baby is extrememly low in my tummy (I think waiting to get out!) and my cervix has also been really low but not dialted. Tuesday when I was in they foun that I was 1cm dialated. They told me I was having BH contractions, but until they told me I never did notice them. Now I still don't notice them too often but for the last several days I have had some minor cramping (doesn't bother or hurt) in my lower tummy like if I was going to start my MP. I really would like to deliver soon! Wouldn't that be great than having to wait until November 9th!! I have had MAJOR rib and back pain for the last several weeks where I am extremely uncomfy and can't sit up for long because the pain gets so bad. I am also not sleeping well at night, have lots and lots of heartburn that I can't get rid of. Otherwise besides this new stuff the rest of my pregnancy has been a breeze, so I have concidered myself lucky. I too haven't had much discharge and still haven't noticed any. I am going to start walking more every day to try to help myself out and speed up this process. I wish I had some answers for you but I don't have any for myself right now. Maybe someone who has went through this will read this post and help us both out! Good luck to you and keep me updated! I hope that it works out soon for both of us!! I don't think my body will wait until the 9th of next month anyway. I can feel all the major changes and stuff in it. Something just tells me I will deliver early...I just wish I knew how early. I am one impatient girl!!

LOL yeap i hear ya. Im just worried that im not going to know when im going into labor considering my mom went through 2 silent labors (almost unheard of), what if i go through the same thing, im sure ill have notice, maybe im just freaking out needlesly. When i go back to the docs next week she is going to start stretching my cervix to get things rolling faster, because of the size of my baby girl. Keep me posted too.
