they kept me in the hospital for almost two weeks but i kinda talked the doctor into letting me go home i was going nuts!lol @stunninqx33 ive been hoping for the past two weeks that when they checked me again i would be more than 5cm but im not 😓 im ready for the real deal lol @steph11

im so jealous pf you right now lol

I'm hoping I'm not I'm like 7% ready I need time

Lucky lol ! If your 5 already why don't they just keep you at the hospital ?

girl ive been on bed rest for the past two weeks 😂😂 lmao and before that i wasnt doing anything to make me dilate (i dont think) it just happened all so suddenly @stunninqx33

What have you been doing ?!

i thought thats what i meant but wasnt sure lol hopefully youre dilated some when they check you ! good luck 😃ive been at a 5 for two weeks now. @steph11

I find out tomorrow if I'm dilated or effaced! it's like it's thinning shorting and softens I think that's what it completely means something like that

oh okay, thank you! when i went into the hospital today thats what they kept saying to one another (the doctors) and i forgot to ask lol 😂 😁@steph11

your cervix is 50% thinned!

Half way there lol
