quick question.. sorry if this is TMI but do you tend to go to the bathroom a lot when its time or near time for labor? i haven't (and won't) drink castor oil, but I'm having the same side effects of it.
I'm 38 weeks and last time i went to the doctor I was almost 2cm dilated... i guess the time is coming @ftm-to-hayden @marieterrell92 @xbbycolletto
yep. your body is emptying it's self out. but not every woman does it. I was actually super constipated the day I went into labor.
I didn't have it when I went into labor I was having contractions 3-5 minutes apart
its not a guaranteed sign but with my first the day before its like I was in the bathroom that whole day. the next morning I woke up in labor
you'll know when the time comes. for me.. I felt off the entire day and I had weird feelings most of the day. then it stopped. after that I used the bathroom and passed my mucus plug. then contractions started coming. by the time I decided to go to the hospital and be looked at, my contractions were kicking in harder and I couldn't speak through them and didn't want anyone speaking to me. by the time I got to the hospital they had me in tears and bottled over on cars in the parking lot. when they got me in a room I was 2cm dilated. and I was leaking fluid. after 3 cervix checks my water broke. theres really never any telling when the time is. baby determines it really. but that was just my experience. I'm glad I decided to go be evaluated. bc once I got in there and in a room shit took off fast. aftery water broke I hit 4cm dilated and went all the way to 6cm with no pain meds. all in 4 hours.
