Aww sorry to hear this hun. I'm 38 weeks
either Saturday on next Tuesday, a few
days in it. I know how you feel, I'm
totally ready now and ready to meet my
little girl. Do they always exam you at 38
weeks?

Being dilated before your due date means
absolutely nothing. You could be dilated
to a 2 or 3 for weeks! Or you could be
high, tight and closed and have your baby
tomorrow. Neither is ideal.
To Lauren_Jay, no. Some doctors don't ever
check you (because it doesn't matter)
until you go into labor or are having some
other issue.

I agree with The_Girlfriend..........walk
a lot. I know its tiring, but it works.
ALso, read to your little man. Read hte
paper or books about anything. The sound
of your voice is soothing and it passes
time. Also, take on a hobby, like make him
a little quilt. There's lots of ways to
keep busy....by making him something, you
concnetrate on getting it done before he
gets here! I made my daughter a quilt out
of blue jeans and flannel!

my doctor for the exam..hes not into
talking or anything really i have to ask
him mostly everything so some doctors are

labor.....anyways...i wish i had a preggo
friend that i could walk with n stuff,
anyways i had my baby shower and only 2
friends showed up and they werent even ppl

Evening primrose iol, when taken by mouth
or rubbed directly on the cervix, aids in
the thinning and ripening of the cervix.
Since that is a herd area to reach while
pregnant, i suggest the ampules. My
midwife told me to take one three times a
day. I don't know if it helped or not,
but within 5 days I was 3 cm and 70%
effaced. Please be sure to phone your
provider and ask for permission.
