Default 38 week appt

Had my appt today. Im about 4cm now. Did another NST which the nurse said looked good. Im measuring 5 weeks behind, no gain of fundal in 3 weeks, so the dr is ordering an u/s tomorrow at 9am.

Im having a lot of cxs today (crampy ones since 4:30/5am) and now some show. Cxs are getting more and more crampier. So who knows if I make it to my u/s tomorrow.

Ill keep ya all updated if anything happens (porbably not, but you never know with this baby, lol).

The day you deliver, outside will be warm. Your baby will arrive in the evening.After a labor lasting approximately 5 hours, your child, a girl, will be born. Your baby will weigh about 8 pounds, 15 ounces, and will be 17-1/2 inches long. This child will have blue eyes and dark hair.

I'm going to guess this is 'baby week' (maybe even baby day?!) for you...but then, who really knows, huh? I bet this little one gives you a run for your money.

Is he concerned that you haven't had any fundal growth for 3 weeks? Glad you are getting in tomorrow for an u/s - if you make it till then. KUP and I'm hoping you go very soon or maybe even get sent tomorrow after the u/s.

I went into labor with both kids at 6-7cm (when arrived at the hospital) so I have awhile to go. I was a 4cm (for a week) with Isaac before things happened. With Carson I was 5cm the day before.

Well those feelings left and I feel back to my normal pg self.

This baby likes to play games. I thought Id never see 38 weeks (even the dr).

Came over here to see what's up with you. It's amazing how long you can walk around so dialated, esp w/ #2+. I think I was several cm's w/ our 2nd from 31 weeks on and he arrived after his due date. I will say, though, Cyndi that you will probably go pretty fast once active labor kicks in. No matter what, you don't have too much longer.

Yeah- I think things will happen soon. You are almost half way there! LOL And when it happens I bet it will happen fast.

Rachel- can I ask a weird question? And also to those who walk around dilating! LOL

What does it feel like? Does it hurt to be dilating and not in labor? Just wondering because I have never had that. I am always 0 cm until I am having contractions...then I go pretty fast.

I walked around 1 cm dilated with Kylie for well over a month before having her but never progressed further than that on my own. I couldn't tell any difference but I wasn't that dilated either so who knows.
