amynicole21 wrote: Had my first internal exam and group b strep test today. The doctor said I'm already 2-3 cm dialated!!! ohmy.gif I was really not expecting that. I've been having some painful BH cntx, but still figured I would probably go over my due date for some reason. Doc said I won't go to 40weeks, and when I go it will probably be pretty fast since I'm already "primed."

I know I could still walk around like this for weeks, but does anyone know how long I may have? Impossible to say for sure, I know, but did anyone go for another month when they were already 2 - 3 cm? Yikes!! Guess it's time to pack a bag and get together the call list. unsure.gif

3_call_me_mama replied: I did> For both! I went past my due date actually and was induced. But I think that I just get stuck at 2-3 cm! LOL ! Hopefully for your sake you don't go that long and your little sweetie will be here soon ! Good luck .

A&A'smommy replied: WOW I can't believe how close you are!! I bet you wont be overdue either thumb.gif

kit_kats_mom replied: OMG! How exciting and scary at the same time!! wub.gif baby.gif

I was dilated for over a month at 2cm but still went almost a week past & was induced. Just take it easy if you don't want her early. wink.gif

I'm so excited for you guys! I'll be waiting for the call...I *do* get to post about it right? and the name...will I be able to spill the beans or do you want to wait to do that yourself? huh.gif

coasterqueen replied: Well Amy at my 35 week appointment I was only dilated a fingertip and by 36 weeks I was at 5 cm and in labor wink.gif

I'd say start getting ready before you are caught off guard like I was. wink.gif

amynicole21 replied:
Yep, you can spill the beans! lol! I hope it's sooner than later, but it would be nice if I had a week or two! wink.gif

ediep replied: wow!! How exciting!!! I was dialated 2 cm at my 34 weeks appointment ( i think) and Jaon came 5 days before my due date

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

kimberley replied: WOW! you are close! i doubt you will go to your edd. my second came shooting out 5 hrs after i started dialating lol. good luck! thumb.gif

redbounce.gif yippie! rolling_smile.gif

chloe&tysmommy replied: Woohoo!!! how exciting....it won't be much longer banana.gif Hey, you could be anytime now...are you all ready yet?

amynicole21 replied:
Ready??? Surely you jest! rolling_smile.gif I have the bare minimum prepared. I don't know why I'm procrastinating so much. With Sophia I was ready to bring her home to her completely decorated and perfect room, with all of her cleaned and sorted clothes hanging in the closet, by the time I was 5 months pregnant! Is it second child syndrome or something? Mabye I just have it too easy since I'll be having another girl and really don't need to get any clothes or change the nursery at all. I really don't want to short-change the new baby, but it's just so difficult to get motivated these days rolleyes.gif

Boys r us replied: Hey ..she won't know she's been short changed rolling_smile.gif


It is second baby syndrome! I was so bad with Braedon..haa..and there were 6 yrs between mine..you'd think I would have been so excited..just like it was my 1st!

WALK A LOT...I did the stairs over and over and had him 2 days after I found out I was 2 cm dialted!

kit_kats_mom replied:
I suspect you have a severe case of second baby syndrome Dear. My poor Lauren is the victim of it in our house. I finally broke down and bought her two new outfits the other day...not because she needed them but because she only has a pack of onsies that weren't handed down from big sis. unsure.gif I was feeling guilty

coasterqueen replied:
Well for me I tried NOT to be motivated to get ready for Megan. tongue.gif I was so ready so fast with Kylie that I got depressed there towards the end because I was all ready for her and she wasn't here. So this time around I said I wasn't doing the majority of "getting ready for her" til the last month of pg so I wouldn't sit around and get depressed. Well Megan showed me... tongue.gif .

Don't think it was really second baby syndrome for me. wink.gif

GavinsMommy replied: I thought I responded to this already! Seems that is happening to me a lot lately, lol. Anyway, I hope everything works out for the best and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy!!! wub.gif

paradisemommy replied: my neighbor is due in about a month also and at her appt. last week or the week before she was dilated 2 to 3 so they are kinda freaked out and trying to bump everything up..her husband is throwing her a shower this weekend. this is her 6th and hopefully last child.. unsure.gif
