35 Week Appointment

I just got back from my 35 week appointment where I did the lovely Group B Strep test and received the TDap shot. She asked how I was feeling and I told her that quite frankly, I had a "feeling" my body has been getting ready and I was convinced I am dilated or something. The second time around, I feel like you are more in tune with your body and what it is going through. She checked me and sure enough I am 80% effaced, 3 cm dilated and her head is right there and ready to go. With Emma at this appointment, I was 65% and 1.5 cm. I wasn't this far progressed until I was 38 weeks the first time. Dr. Lines told me that if I come to my appointment on the 22nd or any weekly appointment and am dilated to 5 cm, she will send me straight to the hospital. Eeeekk! Not getting my hopes up as I was convinced I would go early with Emma and I surpassed my due date. But then again, I wasn't this far progressed.....so fingers crossed? :)
