Called the Doctor Today

I had my first "check" yesterday and found that I was 1.5 cm dilated and 70% effaced. The Dr. told me that I could experience some spotting due to this check. I did not have any spotting last night but when I went to the bathroom this morning I had a "bloody show". I also believed that I lost my mucus plug. I was having some slight contractions that were wrapping back into my lower back.

I called the Dr. and they told me this was normal and that I needed to stay hydrated and keep track of his movement. He is suppose to move 3x's every 30 minutes. They also told me that if it was real labor things worsened then to call back in and it could be labor. I figured all of that but called in to have it confirmed. They did confirm too that I probably did loose my mucus plug which means that my cervix is opening, of course we already knew that from my check from last night.

So I really do feel like a ticky time bomb. This one is so much different from Kyra. Right now I'm sitting mostly and trying to keep my mind off it.

SIDENOTE: I'm going to try to keep a blog for the baby...we'll see how well that goes too:) LOL
