TMI- for the ladies that are almost there
I'm obsessed with reading/researching early labor signs and looking out for them. Everything I've seen or read talks about in an increase in vaginal discharge. I'm only 2 weeks from my due date and I have noticed any VD, let alone an increase. Am I the only one who's pretty dry down there?

Re: TMI- for the ladies that are almost there
I'm not as close as you are (DD Nov. 4), but I have been having slight discharge all along (wear a pantyliner everyday). I have not seen any increase yet, but I am not even close to showing any signs. I was at the dr. on Tuesday and he said that nothing's happening, which I am relieved about.  I am not even close to being ready.

Re: TMI- for the ladies that are almost there
I know that my body is getting ready in other ways- 50% effaced and the baby has dropped super low. But this is one thing I keep hearing about and I just don't have it.

It may be something that doesn't happen to everyone. Or maybe it'll happen any day now. Hopefully your little man will be here very soon!

Re: TMI- for the ladies that are almost there
I have been noticing more discharge lately - I will be 36 weeks tomorrow and i am convinced this baby is coming early! Don't know why though 
It has been within the past few days and my doctor told me that the baby is head down and I am 1 cm dialated as of last Friday...

Cutie...I hope you have more luck than I did. I thought the baby was coming early too. I have been dilated for 3 weeks now and the baby head is extremely low and here I still am on my due date

Re: TMI- for the ladies that are almost there
Well I have noticed a lot of discharge and I wear a liner every day. But I've had a lot of discharge throughout the pregnancy so I'm not sure if there is any increase of not.
I think I'm just paying more attention now and hoping for signs of the mucus plug (which I obsessively check for but have not seen any sight of  )
I thought for SURE I was going to deliver early too - since at my 36 wk appointment I was already 1cm dilated and at my growth sono they told me his head was SUPER low. I'm 2+ cm dilated and 60% effaced as of this week but otherwise I am not showing any signs of impending labor at ALL ..
no contractions, no cramps, no sign of plug - NOTHING !!

i never really it either....never needed a pantyliner or anything, i think some women get it and some don't!

Re: TMI- for the ladies that are almost there
I haven't noticed anything more and I'm 37 1/2 weeks pregnant. I wear a panty liner but it's still the same.
I had an appt today and the dr said i was a fingertip dilated. How do you know if your'e effaced? Is that the same thing as your cervix softening? He said mine was getting a little softer.

Yes, they measure the amount of softening in percentages. So when the Dr. said I'm 50% effaced, I take that to mean my cervix ias halfway thinned out to where it needs to be.
