Mentally preparing myself for a membrane sweep Thursday because apparently pooping a lot is a sign of impending labor meaning my body's ready and I have been pooping everyday the last couple days. This is gonna be fun.

me either, it'd a regular appointment for me but I refused dilation check at 36 weeks so i think they're wanting to make sure I'm not dilating at this point so they're incorporating that into it

Don’t listen to what google says. Get with your doctor and ask them, so you don’t work your anxiousness for nothing. Google is crazy nowadays
