Can you say dilate?
SO I went in for my routine OB appointment today and I am at 32 weeks and 5 days. I told the Dr that I have been having contractions for the last week and a half, so she decided she better check me. When she did she discovered that I was dilated to a 3 already and sent me up to labor and delivery to be monitored. They monitored for 2 hours and I am contracting but when they checked my cervix after two hours I had not progressed any further so they sent me home. I have to go in again tomorrow morning to make sure I am not any further along as this would be a little early to go into labor. All of this is no surprise to me. I always dilate way early and by the time I hit 35 weeks I am usually at a 5 or 6. I have always been induced at 38 weeks so that my water does not break at home. Once my water breaks I go from a 6 to a 10 in about ten minutes so that does not give me much time to get to a hospital. This is however the earliest I have ever started dilating, and I am sure Londyn will be making an appearance before her due date of December 16th. Just thought I would give you all the update and I will let you know how it goes tomorrow.

WOW!!! Be careful this weekend or you might go into labor for sure!
Oh my goodness, you DO dilate early! Hope Londyn comes at just the right time :)
wow! that's crazy! Well at least you know that it happens and you are a pro at it by now, with number 4. I hope that all goes well and moving won't cause the baby to come early. Keep us updated with how you're doing.
Holy cow ur moving and dilating at the same time. Very scary!
You need to take your own advice and go for a pedicure and some pampering instead of all that nesting you have planned, it sounds like youll have to get it done after Londyn makes her grand entrance
Woo, I hope you can hold on until at least 37 weeks! Take it easy there!
If I may ask, how long were you in labor with your first? I had my first in 3.5 hours! EEK. I'm already getting pretty nervous about having to deliver this one myself! lol
Cant wait for the update.
update: I am still sitting at a three and I will start seeing my DR once a week and will continue to be monitored. My first baby was c-section, my second five hours and my last was 3 hours. So when she decides it is time it will be fast. I think I might have to teach my 6 year old how to deliver babies!
You lucky girl you. Except for that c-section, boy, you have easy births!!
