5cm and 60% effaced but zero signs of contractions or labor even starting. Did this happen to anyone else?
It is this even normal?
Like @kambam said it should go pretty quick once u go ...its not uncommon especially with first I was 4 days late and I had absolutely no signs of anything to come and then had contractions for 3 days straight so painful every 15 min they wouldn't do anything to help me along even tho I was due. And when they finally kept me it was still 24 hours of aging cuz of njo effacing no dilation..id kill too have been as far as u at start lol it's coming just slowly I bet within next few days u will have the baby and it'll be lot quicker for :) try to relax which I know is hard ur anxious lol good luck
Not abnormal but consider this: you only have 5cm to go! Some people are in agony from 2cm! Stay relaxed it will help you progress. Light activity, maybe some massage? Hang in there.
need suggestions....
So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
IUI Monday!!
So today I went in for my routine bloodwork and ultrasound, and found out that I have three follicles at 17mm! Plus another two at 15mm. When leaving the clinic my FS said to take another dose of gonal-f and come back tomorrow to check to see how big they got and that we would do the iui on Wednesday. Well, after getting home, taking my gonal-f and going out to shovel snow (lol) I get a call saying that I am SURGING!!! I haven't ovulated on my own, or even come close to it in years...

My husband and I aren’t exactly strangers when it comes to relationship challenges 💞. We have been together for 14 years and married for eight, so we’ve definitely gone through some growing pains as we navigated a long-distance relationship in college and our first year living together as a married 👫 couple.
But nothing has challenged our relationship quite like our first year as 👪 parents .
Before you have your first child, you have these grand ideas of what it will be like. There’s more slee...

Locking your doors
We are having a discussion on one of my birth boards from my older kids about locking doors and security alarms. There are many of us (me included) who do not lock our doors at home (I actually don't even have a deadbolt on my house and we don't lock it when we leave either), and others who think that's totally weird. So what do you do? Do you lock your doors? Do you think it's weird that people don't?
@mamakristena210, well I get induced Friday so if she doesn't come today or tomorrow she'll be here Friday for sure
