@amandafikes, they didn't check for dialation at my last appointment so I called and they told me to call back if I get contractions, my water breaks or I start bleeding like I'm on my period

@wiccanmommy - I don't know why it changed your name. Lol. Sorry about that

me iccanmommy, I agree completely. I'm just saying at her gestational age it's okay if she is going into labor. My labor a ranged in time from 36 hours to 2 hours. You never know how bad the baby wants out. Lol. All I was saying is she doesn't have a huge risk of trying to relax at home - where most of us relax best. With that being said, I can't believe your doctor hasn't had you admitted yet! You never know how fast you will dilate. Good luck momma!

@amandafikes, no offense, saying you've been through labor 4 times doesn't mean anything.. every pregnancy and person is different. I'm on my 4th pregnancy and this one is incredibly different from the first 3. I'll be 38 week tomorrow and I'm sitting at home dilated to at least 6cm and 80% station -1 (that's what it was last Wed )... most people are admitted at this point. I rarely feel contractions throughout the day. if I were to wait until my water broke to go to the hospital I wouldn't make it, my babies have all been born within 30 min of my water being broke (and I was only dilated to 10 with one of those, the other 2 were 5-6 cm). that's my experience @nia.fish .. I don't believe there is a wrong answer for getting checked up, if it worries you then say something to your doc. perhaps baby is just postioning lower into your pelvis and that's why your whole tummy isn't getting hard, but we can only guess because we aren't you.

your welcome momma

@babyromerosmomma, I was crampy but my stomach never got hard and thanks ladies 😌💕@amandafikes @wiccanmommy

Four* times baby five is on his way. Lol

I've been through labor five times. You are far enough along its safe for baby to come. My suggestion is to get up, walk around, drink a lot of water, relax. If it's stage one of labor (it sounds like it) you have a while to go. There is no need to rush to the hospital until something changes. If you start bleeding (a flow), feel regular contractions, water breaks, or you just don't feel right then trust yourself and head in to get checked. @nia.fish

not everyone sees their mucus plug.. but if your having the cramps every couple min it wouldn't hurt to go in and get checked

I would go in do u feel contractions ?

@babyromerosmomma, even if it's super thin and not mucus like?

mucus plug

I'm not sure. I don't even think I lost my mucus plug yet tbh I didn't feel it or anything. And I keep getting woken up from dreams about contractions but I've been awake for like 20 mins and I've had 2 really bad cramps but my stomach wasn't getting hard. Like a continuous cramp but they got really bad for a bit 2x. @wiccanmommy

bloody show? any contractions?

And my underwater was wet so I couldn't put a pad on but it was a very very light pinkish liquid I guess?? Any ideas?!
