Dilalation and Effacement Numbers?!

sevenpurpleshoes

Hi ladies,

 Just wanted to compare numbers to see where people were at this week. Just went in for my 37 week appt - I'm 2.5 cm, 60% and at -1.  Dr. said that this doesn't neccesarily mean he's coming soon - some people stay at this point for weeks! where are others at?

I'm 37 weeks and have an appt. this afternoon.  Last week though I had nothing going on to say I was approaching labor.  We'll see after today though.  Sure am feeling some changes!

At week 36 I was 1cm dilated and 75% thinned. I go in on Wed to get my 37 week check up, hope I've progressed more!

I had my 37 week check up today and am 1.5 cm, 70% effaced and his little head is engaged.  After the exam I've been having menstrual type cramps and some low back pain, which I'm told is normal and a result of the exam, not a sign of active labor.

I am very close to you, 2.5 cm dilated and 50%.  So nervous because I haven't had noticeable contractions yet!  And knowing this is a life changing event has me scared I'm not ready for everything coming our way soon.

Had my 37 week appointment yesterday--I'm dilated at 1 cm and 50% effaced; the doctor said my cervix is "nice and soft" lol. Been having sporadic contractions which are getting more painful though still not terrible and not coming at regular intervals. Hurry up little man, I am more than ready for you to be here!!!!

2 cm dilated and almost 80% effaced at 37 weeks. I've been 2cm for the past 3 weeks though. Hoping things start to move faster.

i am 37 weeks and the dr said i was 1 cm dilated, 60% efaced and baby is at +2 i think? maybe -2  i can't remember. but he also said to plan for more around my due date which is december 2 so i have a feeling that i will have a little more time to go good luck and i wish you all the best

At 36 & 3 days, I was 75% effaced and 3 cm dilated. My midwife kept saying 3.81 when she checked me, so I guess that's the actual number? LOL. Anyway, I am 37 weeks today.

37 weeks, and at my 36 week appt my doc said im 3 cm dilated, and 50% effaced...

On monday i was exactly 37weeks and I'm almost dilated to a 2 with 70%effacement and she's head down. I get random contractions but nothing serious.

I've been 2+ cm dilated since 35 weeks (37 weeks now) but I've been getting more effaced, at 75% now. My doc said the baby's head is at -3. At the first appt though, she said she could feel the head and it's right there. I have occasional very mild cramping but it never becomes anything more. She keeps saying the baby will come early, but not anytime soon. So I guess that means before my due date of Jan 3rd but not this week? She keeps calling her a Christmas baby

I had my 37 week apt yesterday, and I am 1 cm.  The doctor rattled off some other numbers to me, but I had no idea what she was talking about I will be sure to ask her on Tuesday when I go for the 38 week appointment.

36.5 weeks and 2cm dilated was in false labor for a week though. Now I'm feeling great, just tired and having some bloody show which I was told is normal after an exam. Hoping baby comes in the next two weeks! Hubby and I feel ready...

I am 37 weeks today. I went in last week for week 36 check up and was already dilated to a 2. My doctor said she (baby) could come within the next 2 weeks. So, he had me come back on the following monday and I was at a 3. He updated it to that she could come this week! He said if she did not come by Thursday (today) that he wanted me to come back in. So I have an appointment this afternoon to see if there are anymore changes. My hubby and I cannot wait to meet our little girl.

At 36 w 1 d, I was checked, but no effacement or dilation. Dr. said cervix was softening though and baby is head down. I don't see the Dr. again until 37 w 4 d thanks to Memorial Day (my usual day to see him is Mondays and most of the rest of the week is booked.) Soooo...we'll see what he says then. I am experiencing some mild cramping tonight for the first time and I feel like the baby dropped some last night.

I'm at 37 weeks. As of last weeks appt. I was dilated to 1 cm. Dr didn't mention the other numbers. My next appt is this Thursday. I have been having a lot of pressure, cramps & back pains today.

Olegna

I'm almost to 1cm. Doc said cervix was "pretty thin" but didn't give a number. She did say his head was right above it.

At my 36 week appointment last Mon, my doc. said that I was 1.5 cm dilated and 70% effaced. My next appointment is this coming Mon. We will see if there have been any developments when I go in on the next appointment.
