Yesterday I had a doc. App. And I found
out that im 2 cm. Dialated, cervix is
thinned, and my bag of water is right
there. I told him that the baby hasnt
been moving much so he said he wanted me
to have a non-stress test done. So I had
to go to the bathroom first and when I
went I was bleeding. I told the nurse
when I got to o.B. And she said that its
normal, its just the "bloody show". It
only lasted yesterday and every time I
wiped there was blood, but not like a
whole bunch of it. Is that normal? Or,
when you have ur "bloody show" is it
supposed to be heavy? The baby really
wasnt moving and so the nurse lady came in
with this black thing and pushed into my
stomach with it and it felt like a shock
almost and then the baby started kickin
and his heartrate was 150 and it flew up
to 166....Kinda made me mad in a way...I
didnt even know she was doin it so it was
a surprise to me too. How long usually
does it take after u have ur "bloody show"
to go into labor??? A week??? Or just a
few days? Doctor said im probably in
early labor right now but im not having
anymore contractions and the baby isnt
moving, not since yesterday when she
shocked me or whatever with the black
thing she had to get him to move. They
said that they were sure they'd pry see me
last night or today sometime....And im
having no contractions. I was having them
yesterday tho, started getting really bad
too.

Dont want to disapoint anyone or maybe im
just a freak lol!
I lost my mucous plug last monday on the
19th but im not due till feb2, anyways I
was leaking abit and was told something
like extra waterbag/tear and as long as I
wasnt leaking continuously just to take
things easy. So I have been spotting but
my contractions never pick up in intensity
although they say a week for mucouse plug
sometimes you can be the odd one that
still has time to go (im also 1cm
dilated.) these are just signs of
prelabor that can last for weeks so try
not to stress out if he doesnt come out
really really soon but I do wish you luck.
I have most of the symptoms from
prelabor and I guess with this being my
second hes going to play games with me
there is one things that happened with my
first that I could give a heads up
on......
If you were really tired/fatigued, your
conditions are ripe and you get this mega
burst of energy with b/h then expect
things to move along alittle bit quicker,
I had this with elisa and my mom had it
with us and its the one sign that
stuck.......
Have a good labor, atleast try to make the
best of it lol!
