I have been in I believe the first stage of labor for probably a month now maybe 5 weeks tops. How long does this take. With my son I went to my 36 week check up and was admit to the hospital and had him that night. I am almost 37 weeks (on friday i will be) At my 36 week check up I was 3 cm dialated 70% thinned and the baby was all the way down in the birth canal. I know its the longest part of labor and I know at this point most pregnant woman are very anxious. It just seems to be taking for ever.
one more question::
As of today I have been having flu like systems. Such as extremely tired, weak, stumoch pain, a few contractions and this is gross but my stoles as of today have been loose. Am I getting close or Just being anxious again. (link)

I had sort of the same problem... i was 37 weeks and my baby put me throught the first stage of laor for two weeks... i refused the eds to stop labor because on the news up hee a girl got the meds and she really was term and the baby died b/c they stopped labor... i waited it out and went throught hell over the contractions for the next week then asked the doc to induce i couldt handle it .... he sent me to the hospital to induce but i ended up going into active labor that night and had a very healthy baby... try to wait it out till you are 38 weeks give the baby a chance to come on her own but if it is too much go to your doc n ask to be induced... and by all means do not listen to anyone about doing things to induce labor on your own my friend lost five babies from drinking castor oil, breaking her own water, drinking caffeen and eating harmful herbs your baby will come .... they just like to put you through hell before they do trust me the wait and the pain is worth it in the end.... if the pain is unbearable go to the hospital they will find a way to relax the pain without stopping labor.... and if its just a little pain freeze water in a water bottle and have someone rub it up and down your back.... if you are in labor tho some non harmful ways to induce is taking a stand up shower and walk walk walk... dont do much more than that tho
