Last night I started to feel some tight cramping right in my pelvis, they'd last probably 10 seconds, go away and then within 1 minute come back. I'd say it almost lasted an hour but I've gotten so used to the discomfort these last 3 weeks that I pretty much hardly notice after 2 or 3 times. My bowels have definitely picked up in action since yesterday afternoon, all this morning I have been feeling the bowel cramping and having to go to the bathroom. They say that sometimes as labor draws close, the body will naturally start to make softer bowel movements to get it out faster and out of the way, I won't say whether mine have been soft or not, but they definitely have not been normal since yesterday.
I am trying not to get my hopes up, I just figure that I have been eating a lot of fiber here lately so my bowels are extremely active right now. Yesterday's 38 week appointment Gina measured me at 37 centimeters, so basically a week behind schedule I guess you could say. She says a lot of women usually are, next appointment is next Wednesday and I am going to have her examine me to see if I have dilated at all. Cameron said last night that either he is coming in 3 days or in about 2 weeks, mom thinks he'll be here sometime next week probably a week early, I am honestly wondering if they were right the first time when they estimated me at April 21st before the ultrasound which showed him measuring to be due around April 12th.
I am trying to take my mind off of it, I keep telling myself that he will come when he is ready, but the wait is killing me, the excitement is driving me crazy and the anticipation of what labor will feel like for me is making me a little nervous and curious.
