Forgot to update a check-up for 37 wks

So, over the weekend after my appt with the OB on Friday, I was experiencing a lot of cramping and spotting, which is normal after an internal exam. Esp when she went in and stretched out the scar tissue like she did. It continued and the spotting finally had tapered off by Sat morning. I went into work- (to find out that everyone thought I was out on maternity leave and on bedrest- a whole different crazy story). It had some busy spurts but over all the day was pretty laid-back. I had a lot of continued cramping over that day. And a lot of discharge- mostly clear. Some yellow-ish. I had a lot of braxton hicks contractions. I think you have more of those the busier you are! I finally made it through that day, only to go home and of course continue cramping badly. Then Sunday, I got up and went to work. I felt bad, but one more day- I could make it! I continued to cramp and continued to get BH contractions. I started timing them. They were five min apart at first, then started jumping around all over the place, so I knew it wasn't the real deal. I went to the bathroom twice and saw some green discharge. I started getting paranoid about it. Most of my friends on bellyhood kept telling me that it was part of my mucus plug, since i had no signs of infection. I worried the whole day. Continued to have the cramping and contractions. I went home with my feet killing me from swelling. I went to bed and got hardly any sleep I was hurting so badly. I called the doc on Monday morning and told them about the green discharge and cramping. They asked me to come in that morning at 10:45 a.m. So, we loaded up and went to the doc office and they did a fetal non stress test after getting a clean-catch urine sample. The urine came back negative for any type of infections. Stress test looked good. Kaiden was kinda mad b/c the nurse hooked the straps up really tight. So tight it was putting indentions in my belly! But no contractions, which I told the nurse when she hooked me up I wasn't having any contactions, only cramping. I told them I wasn't in labor. So I am not sure why they wanted to do that test- but oh well. I laid there for 30 min on the table, the doc came in and checked the monitor. Said me & the baby looked good. No contractions, but I was definitely showing constant cramping. Said the cramping was me thinning out and getting ready for labor. She checked my cervix- said that scar tissue is still there so she stretched it out even more than she did on Fri. It hurt worse this time. She was pulling hard on it!! No change in dilation- at least not that she told me! Said I had definitely thinned out some more. Which I found odd b/c I thought she had said on Friday that I was completely thinned out. Turns out Steve says I don't listen b/c she said I was "ALMOST completely thinned out". So, I guess over the weekend I made progress in thinning more. But that's about all the progress I made. She said she thought I wouldn't make it to my due date. She guessed anytime between now and the next two weeks. It was hard for her to say. I am just hoping that scar tissue gives sometime soon. I have been having sharp little pains in my vagina- wonder what that's about. Maybe the scar tissue stretching or something! I don't know. Well... now we just wait and see what happens!!
