:confused: I went into the hosp on Monday (35 weeks and 4 days preg) and dilated all the way to 4cms... 75% thinned and baby was at a -1 station. Then my contractions stopped so they sent me home! (since I'm too early to get induced) I have been having very strong contractions all weekend (now I'm 36 weeks and 4 days) Will my baby come soon?:confused:

I'm sure you certainly hope that it will, and as is normal, you could give birth anytime from now to 5 weeks from now and will still have a healthy, beautiful baby. It's too bad that predicting the birth date is not an exact science, but because it's not, don't put too much stock into the approximate dates your doctor gives you. But as everyone know, it's just about a 40 week process. When it's time, you'll definitely know it.

Sweety no one can tell you for sure. Remember that a full term pregnancy is considered 40 weeks. I myself had contractions the entire last month of my pregnancy with my second baby and was dialated to 4 for about 3 weeks. When he/she is ready you will know. Take these last fews days to catch up on sleep and relaxation, your going to need it.

Well you know what I mean, your two year old doesn't still get up every couple hours to eat does she?
