Is labor coming anytime soon?

Question

I have a really upset stomach and diareah. (gross I know)

On Monday my doctor said that I was diltated to 2cm and 75% effaced. I have another appointment for Sept 4th, but she said Ill probaby give birth before then. I am 38 weeks on Monday (labor day). I have had a lot of thick discharge for two weeks up until the last two days it really just stopped then this morning there was a really big blob of it that came out. Now I have the upset stomach, but I really dont know what contractions are supposed to feel like. Im so confused, please give me some advice. Im pretty sure I had my bloody show like two days ago, but then again I had an exam on Monday so it could have been from that.

Answer 1

Hmmm..sounds like you have lost your mucous plug. Looks like sometime before Labor day, or maybe Labor day you are going to have a new little baby. CONGRATS! Get your stuff organized and then rest.

Answer 2

well the blob was probably your mucus plug!... have s*x it works :)

source myself :)

Answer 3

Sounds like maybe Labor day will be a real labor day for you.

Answer 4

Have you called your doctor? and if so, what did he /she say? In my opinion you might want to pass by the emergency just in case so they can maybe have a look and see how much you are dilated. You might be close to giving birth, I would say this weekend you will be having a baby. So Congrats Mommy!!

Answer 5

I am due sept. 6 I have an appointment Sept. 4 my doctor also doesn't think i will last much longer. I have been having lots of contractions but they are not getting regulare for the past 5days I have been vomitingg and have diarrhea. My stomach is so sick. I hope it is soon because I really can't take this much longer. I feel  SOo sick. I have also had perid like cramping on and off for 2 weeks. I had my "bloody show" 4 days ago. so I am in the same position as you. I am miserable I can't even get off the because my stomach is soo sick . hopefully we both can experience  labor on labor day.good luck  

Answer 6

reckon it sounds like your babys more on the way than mine is ! youre 38 wks same as me. I had a show 4 wks ago and consultant said usually means you go into labour very soon afterwards (not in my case tho! )                good luck  x
