38w 1d - Membranes Stripped

Went to my 38w appt today, midwife said I was 3-4cm dilated, 80% effaced, and that baby was pretty engaged (-2 to -1 station). Then she stripped my membranes and rechecked my blood pressure, sent me to L&D for a NST because it was a little high, but with Gregory acting the way he was before my appointment I wasn't at all surprised. BP leveled out though, baby was fantastic throughout, and we could finally go back home.

She also said she didn't see me making it to my due date with the way I was progressing, but then again only baby and body can really decide that. I just hope it's not the 21st, because that's hub's birthday and also the day we get our new couch delivered. Heheh.

How are you preggo may mommies faring? Dilated? Effaced? Engaged? Feeling like a turtle when on your back? Share or vent. :]

i feel like SHIT!! haha in nice terms...i am 1 and a half cent. and the head is down...my hips have been killin me this week so hopefully i have dilated more..ill know on monday...i feel like im going crazy!!!!

I feel like poop too! I'm only 36 weeks and so done! I went to the doctor on Wed and I'm 1 cm dilated. Still thick and she said he was pretty high so I have some time left!

I feel awful. I've been stuck at 1 cm and 50 % for three weeks with irregular contractions the entire time.
My baby was engaged, but at my appt. on Wednesday, he actually moved back up!
 

u are lucky!! im not even 1cm dilated!! im soo ready!!!

i feel miserable i loved being prego til about the 8th month and now i hate it i just want it to be over! Im 1 cm dilated and baby head is down and the dr. could feel it! Im due in 4 days and if she dont come out by then i may get induced wed. the 21st we have to discuss it with the dr. tues. so hopefully i will have my baby girl no later than wed.!!!!!

Yeesh, I feel for you mommies, though. It's almost like just when you think you couldn't get anymore miserable, the next day holds something worse. For me it's because I've been so big. I've gained 10lbs this past couple of weeks alone and can barely chase my 2-year-old!
