I went in for a doctor's appointment today. I've been having crotch pain, back pain and contractions for a week now but nothing extreme (other than the crotch pain, that hurts!). On their own I would've never requested an internal exam but all together and because I've dropped 5 pounds this week and my uterus hasn't grown in two I thought hey, might as well give me an internal exam. He was all casual like oh yeah, sure but by the sounds of it this isn't anything.

He got his hand up in there and went oh my goodness. Your baby's head is right there, you're dilating and I wouldn't be surprised if you came in here in active labor tonight. This was at 4:30. I didn't really believe him that'd it would happen that soon but I'm certainly contracting frequently now so who knows.

Anyways, fellow Chazzers, just giving you all the heads up. Baby bun may be here sooner than I had anticipated. If I don't go in tonight I have to go back in tomorrow for an ultrasound as my uterus hasn't grown in two weeks and is stil lat 34 week measurments, when I am nearly 39.

This was me at exactly 38 weeks. See, little. I had an ultrasound done at 36 and 5 though and they said he looks spot on so maybe Im just lucky and didnt get very big but have a healthy babe.

Have they used the letters IUGR at all? Sometimes when people measure less than what they should measure it can be because the due date is incorrect or what we call IUGR which stands for inter uterine growth retardation (just a fancy phrase for "small baby") Do you smoke at all? Sometimes that can contribute to a low birth weight baby. In any event... I wish you the best of luck with your delivery if today is the lucky day. Can't wait to see pics of your little bun :)

I know... I can't wait :) I love to hear about babies being born. The fact that she is going into labor on her own is going to hopefully make it an easier delivery because her body is ready. Now we wait....... and wait.... and wait some more. I have to go to bed now since I worked last night and have to work again tonight. I can't wait to log back on when I get up to see if today was the lucky day or not. We're rooting for you paige!
