I'm feeling very discouraged after my OB appt today. Last week I was 1cm and this week somehow I am completely closed. I really thought I'd make significant progress because I've been having so many painful contractions. I also thought I'd get a membrane sweep today but she couldn't do it with a closed cervix.
Can you tell me how your cervix was closed but then you went into labor soon after?
I just want to cry and eat a lot of ice cream.
Re: Tell me about how you went into labor after having a closed cervix
At my 38 week appt (on a Wednesday)I was closed and 60%effaced. My doc did the internal exam and it hurt real bad, the first one that ever did. I spotted for about 2-3 days after and think some of my mp came out. Late Sunday night, about 4 days after that internal I began to have contractions, which started my 45 hour labor. I had DD on Tuesday evening April 17.
Things can change quick so hang in there! I was shocked I went into labor before my EDD which would have been tomorrow.
