I feel for you. I had the same problem. In a few weeks you will be holding your baby and admiring your new found ankles!

Happy Delivery!

So I've been seeing my docotr every week now since my due date is getting closer. I was checked for dilation and I'm 1cm dilated! Due date isn't till the 29th of may how much longer do you guys think it will take for my baby to get here??

DoulaLC · May 7, 2010, 02:20 PM

Yeah! You are at the anytime stage. It could be tomorrow, it could be several weeks still. It is exciting to know your body has started preparing, but also remember that some women will walk around a few centimeters dilated for several weeks.
At least you know changes are starting to happen... not too much longer now! :)

I hope its soon! Also this might be TMI lol but I'm having a mucous like discharge no blood, no pink, or red or brown could it still be the mucous plug?

I was like you but I was diated two cm for three weeks and was losing that discharge and they had to induce but that was my first born and everyone is different it depends on your body good luck

I woke up with leaky breasts this morning! Does this mean my baby could be coming soon? 37 weeks I will be 38 on Friday

DoulaLC · May 11, 2010, 01:54 PM

Not necessarily... it's another preparation sign. Some women leak, some don't. It really is a waiting game! I know it is hard... try to keep yourself busy.

Take care of last minute things around the house, spend time with friends and family, pamper yourself, read while you can, play tourist where you live and do a bit of siteseeing, go to the movies, out to eat, take naps, etc..

I had an apt on the 18th I'm 2cm dilated at this point and everything is bothering me!! I want this baby out I have lots of pressure in my pelvic area and constantly feel like I have to pee.. Im swollen and to the point where my maternity clothes doesn't even fit

J_9 · May 14, 2010, 06:16 AM

Oh, dear. Remember that this isn't permanent and that each day this baby stays inside you makes the baby healthier.

You are in the final stages now, it won't be long.

pink_poodle · May 14, 2010, 06:54 AM

I'm sorry my apt was yesterday the 13th typo

J_9 · May 14, 2010, 06:58 AM

Being dilated 2cm is really not much. Would you mind reminding me what pregnancy this is for you?

pink_poodle · May 14, 2010, 10:33 AM
