What station is the baby at? Just curious

bigbear

So the doc checked me last week and said I was 50% effaced, not dialated at all but the baby was low and she could feel her head. So how low is she then? What would be the approximate station? Just wondering
TIA!

I just got checked today, 50% effaced, 2cm dilated, and she said the station was -2.  She also touched baby's head.

i got my first internal yesterday. i was told i was semisoft, fingertip dilated and at zero station (doc said baby's head was "right there").

so she could still have some major dropping to do

Just ask next time.  They should document it - so next week they can tell you if the current week was the same or progress.

I was 50% effaced, 0 cm dilated and -1 and she also said the head was "right there."

I got checked today and she told me I was 2cm, 50% effaced.  But she didn't tell me what station!

I am not at all dilated and he didn't mention anything about whether or not I was effaced or what station the baby is at (I'm a scheduled section at 38 1/2 wks so it really doesn't matter), although he said the baby is "RIGHT here" and I know my belly is ON my lap.  Lol.

I am still at -2. It's weird, too, because OB said her head was really low. I figured that meant more like -1 or 0. Oh well

"right there" =/= zero station. My OB also said her head was "right there", but then she specifed -1 to -2 station. Usually once you hit 0 labor is right around the corner. I was also 50% effaced and my cervix is "very soft". This was last week. I have my next check Friday.

Embarrassed to ask... What does the station mean? Sorry if this is a stupid FTM question...

How low baby is in your pelvis. I think it goes up to -4 (higher) and as low as 2 (head popping out). Or something along those lines.

It goes from -5 (floating baby) to 0 (engaged) to +5 (crowning)
