38 weeks appointment - FAIL

0cm dialated. %0 effacement. She hasn't dropped at all. Awesome. I have been telling everyone she isn't coming early but no one believed me.

Re: 38 weeks appointment - FAIL

  • There have been a lot of appointment FAILs in the last couple days.

    I fear this is in my future for tomorrow...

    Me too. I'm really, really hoping for signs of progress but fear there's nothing going on down there.

  • Don't be upset. It can happen SUPER fast!! With DS at my 39 week visit I was closed tight, that evening, I lost my m/p and was having contractions and 2 days later went into full labor. So, it can happen!

  • But hey, some people have been walking around dilated for weeks!  I don't actually think it matters!  You could go into labor sooner than someone who is dilated and effaced, right?

    Baby comes when it comes!

  • I'm sorry "D".  Are you still on bedrest?  Maybe you can ask if you can be off now since you're almost due. 

    I have been 2 cm dialated and 80% effaced baby is at station -1...for over a week now.  It's like my progress froze.  We'll see.  Hopefully your next appt. will show more progress :)

  • No worries - I'm right there with ya.  I've got nothin', no dilation, no effacement, nada.  Baby will come when s/he comes, the internals are just a mean way to tease us with tiny bits of information.

    I agree. Maybe I should tell my OB I don't want to know what's going on?!

  • I have my first internal today. I'm sort of nervous. I'm of course hoping to hear my body has progressed in SOME way, but I'm not holding my breath for it! 

    I agree with others, just because there isn't any progression now doesn't mean you can't have the baby very soon!!! Here's hoping to baby coming sooner rather than later. ;)

    I am. I told her I had been walking a little though and at the end of the visit she told me to keep with what I've been doing. So I'm assuming that means I can keep walking.

    The only reason I got checked was because I left it up to my DH. I didn't know how much it hurt! Ouchie! I cried when it was over.
