I'm only 37 wks 1 day today and already feeling ready! I was 3cm dilated and 70% effaced at my appointment on Wednesday. Doctor says the baby is a perfect weight and size and being 37 weeks now it's safe for her to arrive. My son was born at 38 weeks exactly. I've been having back tightening and aches on and off since then but nothing consistent. Every time I start feeling my back or stomach tightening I get overly excited hoping it'll become more painful and I can go in. I'm just anxious to know when this is going to happen. Still teaching kindergarten full time until baby comes. I was hoping not to have to go back on Monday :-( trying to ride this out 1 day at a time.
