I was really nervous about getting checked and nearly chickened out. I'm not going to sugarcoat it, that was
very uncomfortable! Butttttt I'm 1cm dilated and the midwife's words were "very soft" & "I can feel his head"!

I was expecting there to be absolutely nothing going on so I'm a tiny bit excited that my body knows it's having a baby

I'm still hoping for him to stay put till my mom gets here on the 10th though!
