okay so i wanna start by saying, i did have a doctors appointment on Friday morning September 25th and my doctor performed my pelvis, she said my cervix was still firm and that i was open like a finger tip width. after i left the doctors office, i lost my mucus plug, i believe as a result of my pelvic exam that morning. all weekend long i felt fine. yesterday being as i'm only 21 and doing this alone, ill be sharing a room with my son for a bit, i went in did what i guess is referred to as "nesting" because i reorganized the entire room not once but twice. last night while attempting to sleep.. i noticed some low dull back pains, which i shrugged off as just being as i was active yesterday and could have over worked myself.. but now this morning the back pains are back and i have been having lots of loose BMs.. normally i am very sleepy in the morning and often take naps in as little as a half an hour after i have woken up.. but not today.. today i'm very energized. i know too often people expect as soon as they hit 37 weeks.. that they are hoping everyday the baby will come, i'm at the stage where i'm so ready for him to be here.. also last week for 2 days straight i had Braxton Hicks every 4 hours, and then Thursday it just stopped altogether.. i'm wondering if maybe its just my body transitioning to him coming soon, because i am not due until October 16th. i'm losing my mind.. just waiting, its making me very anxious and very nervous at the same time, im a first time mom and don't know what to expect.
