38 weeks and I’m still hanging in there…

Jump to Comments

Yes, I’m still pregnant.  Yes, there’s technically three more weeks before my due date.  Does this stop the daily calls and texts?  NOPE!!  I haven’t forgotten to tell everyone that I’ve gone into labor.  Believe me, I’ll let you know.  Believe me, I want it worse than anyone else!!!

For all of you nosey ones, here’s what’s going on with out being too graphic.  If you’re not familiar with the terms, look them up on Whattoexpect.com.  Some are nasty, but everyone wants to know…yes, I’ve lost my plug.  No, my water hasn’t broken.  As of last Thursday, I’m dialated two centimeters and effaced forty percent.  I’ve had “show.”  I’m having lots of contractions.  The baby had “dropped.”  I’ve had just about every symptom of early labor, except no results.  Hurray for false labor.  

I feel at a disadvantage for knowing what to expect.  With Sydney, I had to go with the flow and when she came, she came.  This time every symptom is over analyzed and our whole family is anxiously waiting for me to produce our newest member at any second.  It may be another three weeks or more.  I doubt it and even more strongly, I really hope not!!

I’ll let you know what’s going on and when we go into labor.  We’re going to try to podcast part of the experience at womensgossipnetwork.com.
