37 + 3

Been having pressure all day long since 12pm (writing this at 10pm!)

Started timing the “pressure” that would begin lower back and wrap around lower abdomen, felt like menstrual cramps 👎🏼 went from 13 mins apart, to 9, to 5 mins apart. By 3pm we went to L&D to be seen.

Got checked and I am 2 cm dilated, and contracting but not in the intervals they are looking for, I was at every 5 mins, but they want “2-1-1”. Also, I am losing my mucus plug.

- Nurse was pretty rude because i’ve been to L&D various times for NST, Cramping, and also high blood pressure so she was not in good spirits to help. 👎🏼 She basically was saying she can’t predict if my contractions are strong enough, and don’t come in until my water is broken and i’m in so much pain I can’t move... And don’t come by unless instructed by my dr and my dr tells me don’t call the office just go straight to L&D because he cannot help me as well as they can in person to examine me. Ugh! Maybe not rude just poor bedside manner? Along with other “issues” during this visit.

I have my 38 week appointment this coming Tuesday! Can’t wait to see if my cervix is dilated any further by then. I am so excited and really ready to meet my baby boy 😍💙

- I have been bouncing on yoga ball, and having sex 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ Hopefully that combo is helping with dilating 🤞🏼
