Meaning that I have all kinds of fun "practice contractions" or Braxton Hicks going on-and at times I start to think they are real ones, only have them go away or stop.
Sigh.
Well, we are ready, and currently I am 3 cm dilated and 75% effaced, and the baby has dropped to station 0 (whatever that means, I keep trying to find station info in my pregnancy books and haven't yet, so I might just google it when I am done here) according to my latest dr. check up. Now that I am well into 36 weeks, the dr. has also declared that if labor starts now they won't try to stop it, since our little Champ is measuring a week ahead anyway AND we have crossed into the more full term time period of the third trimester.
Very exciting to be so close to having him here with us-and I am so hoping he does come in March because I just love March. Don't know why, just do.
Also a bit scary, as I really do want to make it to the hospital, so the more dilated and effaced I get BEFORE any contractions really start, the more nervous I am about how quickly this labor might go....
But then, this pregnancy has been so different, that I feel I might be jinxing myself-he will probably go 2 weeks past my due date and then have a hard 24 hour labor.
Or be scary fast and I'll have him in the driveway.
Oh my. I'm ready to be done with labor already....

So I learned that station is how far into the pelvis the head is. Negative stations (-1,-2,-3) mean the baby hasn't really dropped. 0 station means the head is in the pelvis and positive stations (+1,+2) mean the baby's head is in the birth canal. I'm excited for champ!!!
