Friday, February 8th: 1 cm dilated - 30% effaced
Today at my doctor's appointment I found out I am 1 cm dilated and 30% effaced. My doctor said he is far down in the birth canal, but because he is still so active and wiggly he could move out of that position easily. She also said she could feel his head! Which means (sorry to use a somewhat-gross medical term here) I already lost the mucus plug, and based off of everything I read, you can lose the mucus plug up to 2 weeks before you go into labor. Up to 2 weeks? I'm still 3 and half weeks out so maybe he will come in a few weeks after all! Does anyone remember how soon they went into labor after losing the plug? (hee hee) Everything I have read online says there is no relationship between losing the plug and starting labor, but I am still curious :)
My aunt thinks he will come February 23rd or 26th, my mom thinks February 17th, and I think February 19th OR March 5th. So exciting. Gonna go finish packing his diaper bag with the last few items. . . :)
