me feel sick... she couldn't tell me how dilated i was as the cervix was

Well, I went in for my 38 week appointment today and the OB was kinda
suprised to see me cause she thought I'd go into labor before then (was
2-3cm dialated and 80% effaced at 37weeks).  Well, my BP and everything
else was fine.  Gained 1.5 lbs in the past week but I've been ...
