Guys....I think something is happening 😱 About an hour and a half or so ago I’ve been getting…

Hoping it is for you girl🤞🤞 I had a task alarm😩

@carlierose23, me too! If not I’m scheduled to be induced on Monday! But I’d rather go into labor naturally it’s so much quicker

@vegasmomma how many weeks are you? I have my 39 weeks appointment on Monday! Is that when they talk about induction

@carlierose23, I was 39 weeks yesterday and have my appointment on Friday! We just brought it up around 37 weeks or so and my dr offered to induce me on our due date so we won’t go over (hospitals won’t do it before 39 weeks anyway)

At our 38 week one last Friday we decided to move the date up to what would’ve been yesterday if I had started dilating but I was not dilated at all or effaced so we just moved the date to 2 days before our due date. Most doctors don’t bring it up unless you ask I think

@vegasmomma Ohhh okay ill ask my doctor about on monday if she not here yet lol

@carlierose23, ugh I don’t even know if this is real labor 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m having contractions that are kind of strong with a lot of pressure but they are 5-6 minutes apart maybe 30 seconds long. I dunno it doesn’t feel real or strong enough. Booooooo

@vegasmomma i heard that you should go by the 5-1-1 rule

Yes, 511 rule or if your water breaks.

Avoid “hot” bath and go with Luke warm.

@sadiesue0718, @carlierose23, what is the 511 rule??

@sadiesue0718, I definitely took a hot bath earlier because of my back 😬😬 was that bad?

@vegasmomma, 511 rule is 5 minutes apart. Last a minute, last at that rate for about an hour.

Hot showers can slow or stop your contractions. They also raise your body temperature. You can regulate your body temperature by sweating, your baby can't sweat so it raises their temperature too.
