Labor update! 37 weeks.

Katy • Happily married. Mom of a beautiful girl born June of 2015, and a little boy born August of 2019.

I posted last night that I was at L&D. Contractions started at 5:00pm yesterday evening, was told to go to L&D at a little after 9:00pm when I called the on call. Got there shortly after 10:00pm. Contractions were lasting 2-3 minutes apart. Tuesday I was 2cm dilated and 50% effaced. When I was checked shortly after 10:00pm last night (Wednesday) I was 3cm dilated and 60% effaced. They monitored me until a little after midnight, I was checked then and was at 3.5cm dilated and still 60% effaced. Nurse said she believes I am in labor. The on call gave me the option to stay there and continue being monitored or to go home and come back when things progress. We decided to go home. Got home a little after 1:00am. I was up until 6:00am while hubby slept. Contractions still 2-3 minutes apart. Then shortly after 6:00am they completely stopped.

Called my OB at around 9:30am this morning. They had me come in at 11:30 for a NST. Everything looks good and baby is fine. Still at a 3.5cm and 60% effaced. Contractions are very irregular now. Doctor says it seems like it may have been prodromal labor.

Went to the bathroom a few minutes ago and had my bloody show. Resting now as we are trying to keep baby in until 38 weeks.
