I am about 60% effaced!!

Ok, what really does that mean though, does that mean my sweet lil boy could come early or no? I am not dialated at all, THANK GOD, but just wondering about this effaced stuff.

I really do not want him to come before Feb as the first week of Feb would make me 37 weeks. I know God is in control and I am thankful, just wish sometimes I could look into the future and have a heads up on things! That is God's way of telling me, though," I AM DOING THIS AND YOU CANNOT DO A THING ABOUT IT!" God is SO Good!

Anyways, got lots and lots of pain in the nether regions!!!! His head really presses down low so maybe that means less pushing time!!

Cannot wait, but yet I can!

You are VERY near dilation.  Don't be walking around , gravity is not your friend right now. The baby is TOO young to deliver soon.  The lungs mature during weeks 34-35.  If you deliver before that you will have a NICU baby .......if I were you I would put myself on bed rest as much as possible, and really try to keep that baby inside me to week 36.  Good luck.

Good Luck and Listen to your body and your doctor and let the rest be put in God's hand's
I try to put my health in Gods hand's first as He is the one who created us and the doctor's second.

Keep me posted.
Love
