I had my doctor's appointment today and they surprised me by doing a pelvic exam to see if I was dilating at all. Big surprise: I am 3cm dilated, 70% effaced and the baby's head is almost to 0 station! The midwife said "I wouldn't be surprised if you went into labor tonight!" and she didn't seem very confident that I would make it to my appointment on Monday! She said if I DID make it to my appointment on Monday, she would check me again, and if I was to 4cm they would have to send me to the hospital to be induced (if I wasn't contracting) because it is considered "advanced dilitation" and isn't safe for the baby.
Scary and exciting!! We may be having a baby this weekend! Good thing our hospital bags are ready :o)
