Also having an ultrasound tonight. Baby was measuring small. I'm nervous...
Argh I can't wait how exciting good luck sweetie xx xxQuote:

Good luck mrshonyez! Hope it's smooth and easy!
I'm pretty sure hotdogz is right :) from what I read online, the cervix is 4cm normally, but shortens in length as labor approaches. Basically the same thing as effacement I think! I could e wrong though...
And thanks everyone, this labor has been amazing and completely pain free! I'm just hanging out at 6cm in my room while DH runs a quick errand lol.
Yay Mrshoneyz! Maybe you are holding your new baby right now? Cant wait for an update :)
Oh how exciting to wake up and hear about a possible new baby :) hope all is well mrshonyez :)
I had a random check last ob appt (she read notes wrong and thought I was 35 weeks with a transverse baby hence the check) and she said I was closed but shortening.. I was only 31 weeks though eek!!!
I bet mrshonyez is holding her little man! Exciting!
Thanks ladies!! He was born this afternoon after just under 4 hours of labor :) I felt nothing and it was amazing lol. He's huge... 8lbs 12.4oz 20 3/4"! Way bigger than my other two, and he was early! He's got a lot of rolls on him lol. I'll post pictures soon :)
Wow! Congrats! Tell us the secret to no pain...I really want to know.
I bet he is adorable, can't wait for pictures!
