37weeks today and I'm happy I'm considered full term now but these contractions are very painful. Why do I feel…

They're contractions. I've been having them the past week.

o OK @mariceladez

I had them all last night and this morning! They suck!

yes they do @tracynangel

37 weeks tomorrow whoo hoo! Bet you're gonna pop first! I haven't dropped!

It looks like I have my fiance said yes but idk you never know . I know your always one step behind me . When do they start checking your cervix? My doctor is saying not until 38 weeks I thought that was late to start

@tracynangel

My doctor doesn't want to check because she says it won't mean anything and it'll expose me to infections and bacteria. She herself was 5cm dilated and was still overdue by a week!

o wow ok @tracynangel

I didn't know it can expose you to bacteria and infections I just learned something new today!

@tracynangel

Yes! Anytime something or someone goes in its a risk! There's always things living in the air and afterwards it stays open so whatever in on underwear or whatever could get pushed further in!

o OK good to know this thanks makes perfect sense, thanks @tracynangel

Yeah no problem! My midwife is so wise! She taught me all about breastfeeding too!

I had a midwife in the beginning of my pregnancy at a birth center absolutely loved everyone at the BC that had so much to offer especially for first time moms I wanted to do the birthing ball and waterbirth was so excited about that experience but unfortunately I had to be transfered to a ob doctor due to me being high risk was so sad about that . I mean I think my doctor is great and all but I wanted that personal experience with a midwife .

@tracynangel

Yes they're mch more personable
