So I'm 38 weeks, dilated 2cm, 70% thinned.. as of yesterday.. drank castor oil last night just for fun with the hubby.. we didn't think it'd do anything.. but I was up with contractions all night. They aren't close together.. maybe like 4 intense ones per hour.. but the crampy tight stomache feeling hasn't gonna away since the contractions started. This morning I lost my mucus plug (gross) & ever since I keep leaking gooey stuff.. so I took a shower & got everything ready by the door, just in case.. so what do you all think?

    Maybe ask you dr? It doesn't sound like the contractions are regular enough to go in. You could walk and see if they get more regular.

    @laura536, I think that's what ill do.. I'm too uncomfy to not worry so ill just help labor start I guess!

    Good plan! Every dr is different, but last time, my dr said not to come in until contractions were 5 mins apart, lasting 1 min, for an hr. But I never had any contractions and ended up getting induced, so I didn't have to play the am I in labor guessing game, lol! Good luck!

    @adensmommy0308, sorry it took me so long to respond, my phone wouldn't let me on pregly for some reason.. & I drank 2 oz. mixed with juice.. I'm still crampy & feeling lots of pressure, but my contractions still aren't consistent..

    i'd say wait and see if ur really in labor...just because i wouldn't want u to go n get sent home.

    @myHEARTZx3, I think you're right.. although, I feel like I'm dilated more.. I have that feeling I am anyways, I couldn't tell on my own lol but I think ill just relax & go for a walk later & see if my contractions get closer together!

    Hummm.... I only took two tablespoons hubby was freaked out by the idea of me taking more then that. And I got nothing! Not even the feeling to go poo. :'(
