Sooo...went to the hospital looks like this baby is about 8 pounds and doc says I'm 1 cm dilated having contractions every 10 minutes but they sent me home for now. I'm so excited. I know every pregnancy is different but I'm just curious when I should expect to be in active labor based on your experiences.
