I'm still here cooking at 37+5. I thought for sure my water had broken over the weekend, while we were 3 hours out of town. I bent over to get my swimsuit on, and fluid gushed out, exactly like when my water has broken in the past, but it wasn't clear, it looked more like discharge, though watery. I ended up going to triage at the local hospital, and they did several tests to make sure I hadn't ruptured, and by some miracle, I hadn't. I was dreading having the baby out of town with nothing at all. I guess it was just extra cervical fluid or something, but it kind of poured out even when they were testing me. That's super TMI, I'm sorry! I've never had anything like that happen before though, so I'm still not sure what was going on. They tested the fluid around the baby and it all was normal.
I'm so grateful to have made it this far, but I really am hoping to go into labor before my scheduled C/S in 2 weeks, so any day now would be great. I was 3cm dilated and about 60% effaced in triage, but with my full term first, I was walking around at 4 cm for 2 weeks.
I'm looking for a new show to watch currently. I finished Downton Abbey a while ago, and LOVED it, and now I'm struggling to find anything I like quite as much. I've been reading more in the evenings than watching TV, but if we watch anything lately it's episodes of The Office, or animal documentaries, which I love.
