I'm excited... I've been complaining for the longest but the wait is almost over. Now I'm just waiting and hoping she comes on time. As I said I'm already halfway dilated and 80% effaced (may be more). For the past week I've been struggling with getting out of bed because my pelvic bone hurt sooooo bad and sometimes I can barely walk. What could that mean?

View 3 RepliesWent to triage last night for decreased fetal movement and good thing baby was good and everything was fine. Doctor said I was 1 to 2 cm dilated and 60% effaced. What does that mean? 60% effaced?
View 8 RepliesI'm 38 weeks today and wondering since I'm already 60% effaced if that means my son will come early or could I stay effaced for 2 more weeks?
View 1 RepliesSo I've been dilated 3-4 cm for the past 2 weeks. Today I'm in pain. My back, sides, and butt hurt like hell to the point where I'm tired of trying to manage the pain. So I went to the hospital to get monitored and they told me that my contractions weren't "strong enough" for them to admit me. They sent me back home and I'm still in pain... What am I supposed to do?
View 18 RepliesFirst time mom, and just had my 36 week checkup. Dr told me I'm already 2 cm and 75% effaced. I honestly didn't even realize I had been having contractions. I'm excited to see my baby. Should I try to walk or otherwise encourage labor to start or just cool my heels? I've never been good at waiting for things, lol.

View 4 RepliesI'm 39 weeks and 4 days, I haven't dilated or effaced kinda worried.. I have 2 daughters and never had this problem. My doctor plans on trying to soften my cervix and see how that goes.. I really don't want to have a c - section.. Just concerned that my body isn't doing what it needs to do..
View 1 RepliesSo ended up having to go to er last night and was told that I was half a cm and 50 percent effaced! Then doc said I was full cm today but was given a shot last night to stop contractions cause they were every 15 mins ! I'm almost 38 weeks and supposed to have c section the 22nd. Now on major bed rest why won't they just take her ?
View 2 RepliesI'm 12 days delayed menstruation today, my period is irregular. should I take more pregnancy test or should I go to a doctor?my partner and I trying to have a baby this past 2 yrs. and we are having difficult to monitor my menstruation cycle because of my irregular period.
View 3 RepliesPlease tell me is my period flow normal. I used to get 5-6 day periods, heavy for 2 days, medium for 2 days, then light for 1-2 days until it tapered off and ended. It was this way even when I was on birth control.
For the past few months now, I have been getting 3-4 day periods, where the first day is really just some spotting indicating my period is going to be starting. The second day is my heavy day. The third day is medium light. The 4th day is light. I'm still on birth control. I am 30 years old now.
Also last month, my period color was dark brown and I also had some black colored clotting during my heavy day. I know some blood clots are normal during menstruation, I had them all my life. But this blood clot was black. Again this month on my heavy day, I had black colored clot. It was a dime size clot. Size was not large. Is black color clotting anything to worry about? I do not see red blood these past two periods like I am used to seeing. I am seeing mostly brown and/or black.
And how can I increase my menstrual flow. I am worried that my endometrium lining is thinning and can cause a problem when I do try for children.
I've been having headaches for the past 4 days and they just wont go im almost 20 weeks any ideas how too ease them ?

View 5 RepliesMe and my husband have been trying to conceive for a few months now.
I've been spotting for the past 5 days and it keeps stopping and starting. My period is due in 2 days.
The colour is a brown pinky sort of colour and my stomach as been feeling a little churny.
When will be best to take a pregnancy test?
For a little background I had been having some family issues recently and was drinking 6-7 shots most nights. I live a healthy lifestyle besides the alcohol and am 26. I suddenly realized i had not had my period and found out I was pregnant. My husband and I had an ultrasound the next day and found I was already 6w3d. I immediately stopped drinking but I am terrified. Is there a possibility that the baby could come out of this ok? I know babies are most at risk for FAS in the first tri but I thought it was mostly apparent when mothers drank the entire pregnancy. I need to find a way to move past this
