Hi everyone, I am new here! I am 23 years old and mommie to a 4 year old little girl and also expecting baby number two!! I am almost 37 weeks and well I have had a anxious week, I week to the doctor this past Friday and he did a exam and said that I was already 4 and half centimeters dilated and 60% efaced and then Saturday night I went to the hospital with pain in my lower abdomen and back and they hooked me up to the monitors and the nurse checked me at 6pm and said I was a 4 and half and said that I was'nt having any real strong contractions just some irriablitly and that she would check me again at 9pm, so at 9pm she checked me again and was like OMG! How did you do that?? You have dilated to a 6! And you haven't even had any real contractions!! Well she called my doctor and he came and checked me too and said I was definetly a 6 and now 80% efaced, but he sent me home because I was'nt contracting.. And told me it probaly would'nt be much longer before I delivered, well now its Wedensday and still no baby I have been cramping and having back pain, but no contractions and my water has'nt broke yet.. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how much longer they think it will be....Thanks ladies and I look forward to getting to know all of you!!!
