Between the real contractions, the braxton hicks, the diaherra, the heartburn, and the nausea I am never comfortable anymore at 36 weeks. My ob checked me today and he was surprised that I was completely thinned out but only 2 cm dilated with my mucus plug gone. With how low baby is he was thinking I would be at a 4. He said the only thing keeping baby in is my cervix so once I dilate more he says things will progress quick. He said I only have about a 20% chance of going into labor. Hopefully I get better news when I go back on Wednesday.

I’m right there with you. This second pregnancy is destroying me. 2cm dilated and 50% effaced. She’s been low this entire pregnancy, and now, I’m in constant pain. I need her out. 37 weeks and 5 days. I have so many women in my family that have tons and tons of kids. None of them warned me about subsequent pregnancies, and now I’m just a gigantic ball of rage.

That what they told me when I went to the hospital I was going to have him this weekend or my next doctor appointment they are going ahead and tell me to have him I be 38 weeks next week

Omg this sounds like me! 2 dilated 100 effaced as of Wednesday. OB said see you in 24-48 hours…yea didn’t happen. I go back Tuesday and I’m demanding eviction if we haven’t made it yet. Haha. My pelvis hurts, I can barely work (paramedic here so let’s just have this kid so I can take my six weeks!) but have to keep working as long as possible because husband lost his job and can’t seem to get another one. I’m in limbo and I don’t do limbo. I’m a planner and I don’t feel contractions for shit according to my OB so it’s literally a guessing game.
