so question... last Thursday I was a fingertip dilated and the midwife could feel babys head. she never told me I was effaced or anything she just said that. well today I'm so crampy which comes and goes along with tightening of my stomach the cramps are period cramp feeling but I can stand them. I just have to stop what I'm doing. I can't close my legs Cuz my hips hurt so bad an I feel like I'm squishing his head. it hurts to stand up straight. I'm so uncomfortable. I am always in an out of L&D n today I don't want to go I'm exhausted. I have a appointment on Thursday. anyone know or experience this. it's my third baby but he is a boy I have 2 girls an completely different this time arpund. my youngest I was dilated to 3 cm and all most all the way effaced at 3 pm went for dinner went back at 1100 pm and I was fully dilated I pushed for 3 mins an she was born.
