Well I guess the membrane sweep worked! :) congrats on your baby girl!

@mary yep! Check out my other posts :)

Hope you had your baby by now OP!

Update?? :)

Update?

Working on it lol

They just put me on pitocin

I hope you got you stay! Good luck momma!! "

On the negative side the last time I ate a meal was @ 4:00pm.. And they won't let me eat ?

My last 3 contractions were only 2min apart and they were 130+ strength and lasted at least a minute.

Oh thank goodness! I was like wtf!? How could they send you home at 5cm? Good thing he knew better! Enjoy your moment momma and post pics of baby girl!

Omg any hour now huh? So excited for you!! Happy thoughts for you and your little one :-)

Thank god for educated doctors!

Moved me to a bigger room and hooked me up to an IV for fluids (no pitocin) and I'm staying over night!

Contractions are definitely getting stronger!

Update knockout?

Wow I thought after 5 cm it's consider active labour. I know you not 39 weeks till a couple of hours but so what is not like the cervix is going to close up now. Girl scream kick and have them break that water. I swear you go home you will be right back. Tell them sorry I live too far and I'm not going to a hotel. Lie about where you are staying.

Hopefully your Dr has you stay. That's ridiculous if they send you home. Keep us updated mama!

I would ask for a second opinion! How can they send you home when you're contracting every 5 mins - and are 5 centimeters?!?

Just checked me, still at a 5. Still having contractions.

They are calling a Dr. To get his advice but it doesn't sound hopeful

They shouldn't be sending you home!

All my contractions are going off the chart and are under 5min apart and I'm dilated to a 5!!! What is wrong with these nurses ???????

Guys I have swayed, bounced, squated, prayed, cried, and everything else you can think of.

I'll know in 10min if I'm staying or going.

SO FRUATRATED!

I deleted my reply haha. I didn't read the previous posts. Sorry lol. Good luck with everything! Hope your baby comes soon :)

According to my OB's 'rules'... He would have me go into L&D if my contractions were under 5 min apart and consistent for an hour. Go ahead and head to the hospital :)

Why cant they just break ur water?

Girl jump up and down, have sex on the hospital bed.... Ask for some castor oil lol get that s*** moving! I can't believe they'll send you home at 5 cm... You are obviously in labor! Good luck. Keep us updated

Ugh guys! This sucks! They checked and still a 5...

The won't give me pitocin or anything so unless my water breaks in 30 min they are sending me home

Yay @knockout!! So excited to see your little girl!!!

Good luck girl!!

Good luck!!

Good luck :)

Good luck!! ;)

Okay so they just checked me and I am 5-6cm dilated.

However they won't put me on pitocin because I'm not 39weeks till tomorrow.

So it's up to my baby girl to see if she wants to come tonight!

They are checking me again in an hour! Wish me luck!

How are you doing mama??

Is it time????? :):)

Good luck!!!! Yay!!!

GL OP!!! And cro gratis in advance for your LO :)

Good luck!

EEEEEEE!!! @knockout I hope this is it for you! Good luck!! Keep us updated, who cares about all the posts today your excited!! :)

Let us know!

Go now! I had a membrane sweep on my due date had contractions all day then had my daughter at 6:04 the next morning. I was 3 cm dilated before the sweep!

Good luck, knockout! I have to interact with my family now I guess, so I won't be on for a bit. lol

They are still coming and they are definitely getting stronger. Getting ready to go out the door. I'll keep you updated

Good luck! I hope its time for you to have baby!

I say better safe then Sry I would go now. If anything they make u walk but ur better there then home I think. Hope it goes well for you!

I feel like I could have written this myself!

Since my doctor's appointment earlier my contractions have been every 5 minutes some painful and some not.

I'm just waiting for it to get way worse or my water break. My water broke for my first unexpectedly so I'm not really sure what's happening right now ?

Good luck Knockout! I don't have any good advice (c-sections only for me)... but I would say go get checked out.

@baby Iv tried everything. When I lay down I can't breath and I feel like I'm gojng to pass out

Have you tried laying down and seeing if they ease up? My first membrane sweep gave me nasty contractions for many hours but no baby. I did go get checked and walked around for 2hrs at the hospital but they eased up when I laid down.

My second sweep did the trick though.

Good luck!! Lots of prayers!!!!

I think we will go in soon. With my son they had me walk for awhile then took me to a room.

I have a strong feeling today is the day

I have that same issue with crazy thick water sacs, and for me, I would stay pregnant forever or at the very least have c sections without having my water broke. Not much happens until that's done (for me).

Docs say to call them when your contractions are 7-10 mins apart. Give your OB a buzz and see what they say. But I'd say it's about time to get into the hospital. They may have you walk for a bit!

Are they lasting more than a minute? If they continue for another 15-20 minutes and are 3-5 minutes apart lasting at least a minute, I would go in.

@planet no we aren't home, we are staying at my step mothers for the night. We are about 10min away from the hospital

Go .tp the hospital them your contractions are close together. Its okay of its not Time yet. Better safe them sorry. the hospital probably got sick of me because I thought I was in labor all the time. Oh well.

I would go get checked
