I went to my dr. appt today. I am 39 weeks
prego. on friday and am 2cm dilated and
60% effaced. Everything is normal, but im
still prego. So, my dr. that membrane
sweeping thing. Its suppose to speed up
the process, but I was wondering, does

Ahh, much like everything else during
pregnancy, everyone is different and every
situation is different. It can
work. You may bleed a little - THIS IS
NORMAL - you may start getting some cramps
- THIS IS NORMAL - or, you might not get
anything at all - THIS IS NORMAL TOO.
Wishing good thoughts and labor vibes for
you.

Hopefully they'll get regular Contractions don't
start out regular but they end up that
way. Walk. Rest. Walk. Rest. Walk.
Good luck.

So....my contractions have been pretty
regular the past 45 minutes. About 2-5
minutes apart. They are pretty
uncomfortable. Cramps and a little lower
back pain. Nothing toooo tooo bad. If they
continue should I call the hospital an go
up there?

I would call and see if they'd like you to
come in. They might tell you to stay home
and see if they keep up, or they might
tell you to come on in. It wouldn't hurt
to call!
