@preggiemommy, that's what I did. Every contraction was timed. I also squatted or bent over to rock back and forth. I was 3cm when I got stripped. You'll want to go to the hospital when the contractions get 5min apart or less.
it really helped me to clean and just stay moving, like the whole day I organized my daughter's clothes and it helped push me along! she was here the next morning
I was 1 cm P effaced at 37 weeks then 2cm p at 38 weeks got stripped nothing happend went back at 39 weeks I was 4cm p got stripped again And since then nothings happend I'm due Christmas
