Tell me about how you went into labor after having a closed cervix

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.

  • Hang in there!  With DS1 I was at 0 cm when my water broke at 37 weeks 6 days.  This time my water broke when I was at 1 cm at 40 weeks 2 days.

  • I was closed at my 40 week apt. So at 40w 2 days, a Tuesday, we had sex. Wed I had reflexology (why not?), Thursday apt. I was 1 cm dilated so she did a membrane sweep, went into labor that night. Baby was born Friday! Good Luck!
