I'm 39 weeks and 4 days, I haven't dilated or effaced kinda worried.. I have 2 daughters and never had this problem. My doctor plans on trying to soften my cervix and see how that goes.. I really don't want to have a c - section.. Just concerned that my body isn't doing what it needs to do..
View 1 RepliesIf you have contractions do it mean your dilating ??
View 5 RepliesI'm 34 weeks and my doctor is going to start checking me next week. Can someone just explain to me what effaced is?
View 3 RepliesWent to triage last night for decreased fetal movement and good thing baby was good and everything was fine. Doctor said I was 1 to 2 cm dilated and 60% effaced. What does that mean? 60% effaced?
View 8 RepliesI'm 38 weeks today and wondering since I'm already 60% effaced if that means my son will come early or could I stay effaced for 2 more weeks?
View 1 RepliesSo I've been dilated 3-4 cm for the past 2 weeks. Today I'm in pain. My back, sides, and butt hurt like hell to the point where I'm tired of trying to manage the pain. So I went to the hospital to get monitored and they told me that my contractions weren't "strong enough" for them to admit me. They sent me back home and I'm still in pain... What am I supposed to do?
View 18 RepliesI'm excited... I've been complaining for the longest but the wait is almost over. Now I'm just waiting and hoping she comes on time. As I said I'm already halfway dilated and 80% effaced (may be more). For the past week I've been struggling with getting out of bed because my pelvic bone hurt sooooo bad and sometimes I can barely walk. What could that mean?
View 4 RepliesFirst time mom, and just had my 36 week checkup. Dr told me I'm already 2 cm and 75% effaced. I honestly didn't even realize I had been having contractions. I'm excited to see my baby. Should I try to walk or otherwise encourage labor to start or just cool my heels? I've never been good at waiting for things, lol.

View 5 Replies38 weeks today and 14 more days to go. How do I get my labor and dilation to speed up faster? I'm so ready to have this baby. Any ideas?
View 4 RepliesSo ended up having to go to er last night and was told that I was half a cm and 50 percent effaced! Then doc said I was full cm today but was given a shot last night to stop contractions cause they were every 15 mins ! I'm almost 38 weeks and supposed to have c section the 22nd. Now on major bed rest why won't they just take her ?

View 5 RepliesI'm being brought in tomorrow morning to be started at 36 weeks, 4 days because I'm a diabetic and the baby has got to big leaving me no room and causing sickness! Anybody know any tips or ways to keep calm or what I can do to help myself?
View 2 RepliesDoes it hurt when you get induced?, I'm just curious.
View 7 RepliesSo I'm a first time mom... I'm 38 weeks today... I'm thinking of being induced at 39+1 days pregnant... does it hurt when they induce you and how do they induce you?
View 3 RepliesI'm 37 weeks pregnant and I'm being induced this Sunday coming (19th of April)
This is my first baby, and I have no idea what to expect.
Like I know the basics, they're going to use the tape first for 24 hours (checking me every 12 hours) and then if that doesn't work I get the gel for another 24 hours (again checking me every 12 hours)
And once I'm 3 cm Dilated they will break my waters, and put me on a drip to help bring on contractions..
I need someone who has either been Induced and or been Induced and had a natural labour.
I just want to know what I should expect happen, and does it hurt more being induced or just having Bub come natural. And what I can do once the tape is in to help speed up the labour.
I'm exactly 1 week overdue and i'm scheduled for an induction in 6 hours! I really don't want to be induced. I feel the baby could come on its own very soon and i rather give him a few more days. I'm wondering has anyone been induced? the more i read about induction the more im turned off by it! im young and healthy and i think extending for a few more days won't affect the baby.
View 9 RepliesI am being induced on sept 10th I have not been thru this before and looking for anybody with the experience of being induced to tell me how it worked.
View 5 RepliesJust left my doctor's office. I was told to come back at 6pm this evening to be induced! Im 38 weeks and he said by feeling my belly it feels like he is at least gonna be around 8 and a half pounds.. im so nervous! Anyone mommies that have been induced? Is it as bad as they say it is??
