Anyone or know someone who had made no progress at end of PG, then Bam go into Labor?..Soorry if long...

I am looking for some kind of hope. I know things can change in a matter of hours but I am getting sooo frustrated and anxious.

I was on partial bedrest and meds from 26-36 weeks and I guess I was hoping when they took me off the meds, my body would start contracting again like it did to get me the meds and bedrest.

I apologize if this post is redundant.

1st internal at 36.5 weeks-Nothing NO Progress
2nd internal at 37.5 weeks-Just slight effacing
3rd internal at 38.5 weeks-Not even enough effacing to measure, and i am 1/2 fingertip dilated.

Did this happen to anyone or anyone they know then all of sudden go into labor? Or did you wind up going late? Is there anything I can do to help this along?

This is my 1st baby, and i guess I am ready and done being pg, I just want her here already!!

At my 38 week visit, my doctor said I was almost 1cm dialated and it would be awhile before he was born on his own, so he asked if I wanted to be induced two days later as he was on call that day. I told him no, I'd wait and see what happens. My water broke the next day, and Jesse was born about nine hours later - all this was the day after my appointment. It can happen!!!

I went to the Dr the day before Alex was born and nothing, he told me the contractions I was having were probably braxton hicks. Well 24 hours later he was born. So anything can happen at anytime.

With my son - I forget what myeffacement was but it wasnt much, I was not even 1cm on a Thu OB visit and I had him that Sunday. Trust me, I wasnt an unusual case and it definitely doesnt mean you arent having your baby soon. I'm sending you **labor vibes** in the meantime. I can relate to your "when is the baby coming?" anxiety though...I felt that way when I was having him too.

I was not effaced or dialated at all the day before I went into labor. At the appt. the dr. told me she wanted to see me a few days later to discuss induction - but luckily I didn't need it.

In the meantime - REST UP! You will need all your energy for labor and delivery - so many people told me that and I didn't believe it. I ran myself ragged the day I went into labor - and boy was it exhausting!

I had an internal with my first at 37 weeks and nothing. I wasn't dilated or effaced and he told me not to worry, it was my first and more than likely I would go late.

well, 3 days later my water broke and he was born 3 hours later (I had a c/s because he was breech).

I wasn;t feeling well and went to the Dr.- he said nothing at all was happening. I had her the next day!

Hang in there!

yes this was me- no progress just a little softening then the night I had bad stomach pains- like I ate too much, I went to the bathroom and then the contractions started about an hour later.

I really think I set myself up for feeling like this. I thought going off the meds would actually do something. I think it's in my head. Today I have so down in the dumps.

Knowing that I am not alone that other women have had no progress then something happened helps me keep the faith.

I thank you so very much for sharing
