Would your doctor do a membrane sweep and not tell you she did it? She went to check my cervix today at my 38 week appointment and it hurt worse than normal and it felt different than the other times did. Maybe tmi, but it felt like she went up there then left and right a couple times. The other times she just felt towards the left. I was just wondering if maybe that's what she did.

Im due the 18th! Im 3.5 cm dilated and 70% effaced. I got a membrane sweep today. My doctor said shes hoping it puts me into labor tonight. So far my only symptoms are inconsistent braxton hicks, mild cramping, and lower back pain. Also lots of pressure (her head is very low) and a very active baby lol. Any words of encouragement would be great!

So is there anyone else who is due Friday or around this time that's still prego? I'm due Friday, still prego. No signs of her coming soon, done just about everything but castor oil (I refuse to have that nasty s*** ) sex and walking (doc told me to do both lol) plus yesterday i cleaned hardcore n kept going up n down stairs all day...doctor appointment on the 16th! Hoping he tells me something good! I feel hopeless! And I'm completely miserable! Thought it was bad before but now I realize how bad it is! -_- n I'm soo moody!!!

I'm terrified to give birth! I've actually gone through it once but it was at 5 months, and our little boy didnt make it. We are very excited to be having this baby boy, but I'm absolutely terrified to do this again. I know how bad it hurt and how hard recovery was and I wasn't even full term! I'm terrified to tear down there or be cut, but I'm also terrified to be cut open for a C section. I am 38+6 and it's going to happen any day now. I've also been told I'm probably having a large baby, but I know they can be wrong so I'm hoping the US I had three weeks ago that he was already over 5.5lbs was wrong. I just want to be knocked out cold and sedated to give birth. I'm terrified of getting an epidural too. I really feel ashamed because so many women talk about what an amazing experience it is and when I tell them I'd rather be sedated and not remember it they look at me like I don't deserve to have children. I'm also worried that my fear is keeping him from deciding he is ready to meet the world. Ive been 4cm and 80% for three weeks, and at my appt on thurs Dr said I'm 5cm and 90% effaced now, but I still haven't one into active labor. I talk to my husband about my fears but even though he says he understands and tries to be supportive it doesn't really help because he has no clue what I'm going through. I just wish I could go to sleep and wake up and have a baby! It's also weird for me because I have a high pain tolerance, have always been a daredevil, and have never really been afraid of anything, I start horses and could care less about getting bucked off or anything like that, (even though of course my goal is to start them right so they don't buck or act up ;) I'm just venting and wondering if there is anyone else who feels the same. Please don't post rude comments about how I'm unnatural or it's not right how I feel, ado already said it hurts when people judge me for how I feel about this whole experience, thanks for kind words in advance!

What did your baby weigh at birth compared to the estimate the doctor gave you by feeling your baby in your stomach?? It's making me nervous!!!

And this is our bathroom!
