Week 35 - Already Dilating

So this last week I have been feeling a lot more pressure in my pelvic region and sharp shooting pains near my cervix. I asked my mom and mom-in-law about it and they both said the same thing that it's my body starting to prepare for delivery. Little one has been doing what feels like corkscrew movements and I just think she's getting excited about coming out and saying hi to everyone.

Today I had a doctor's appointment and everything is going just right. My blood sugars are doing good, weight is fine, and so is my blood pressure. The nurse also did a Group B Strep test to see if I'm a carrier or not, we'll find out next week. Doctor Pinter did my first cervical check and I am already a centimeter dilated and am 60% effaced. I guess she is starting to get anxious about coming out. The doctor told me not to go into labor in the next week because she is going to be out of town. I have a feeling that she'll be coming a little early but I don't think she'll be making her appearance until August sometime. I still can't believe that I am this close to being a mommy. It's amazing.

Congratulations Elizabeth! You are going to love being a mom! Feel free to call or write with any questions, although I know you have plenty of other "mommy" resources. We'll be praying for you all!
