3rd Trimester

If you are 80% or more effaced....

how long have you been that way? At my Dr.s appointment this past Thursday, I had gone from 30% to 80% in a week and my OB gave me the "be ready at any moment speech". I, however, would like LO to stay in a few more weeks at least for several reasons. =) I just wanted to know if anyone else had been at 80% or more for a while to ease my mind. I know it's not a guarantee either way but I just wanted to hear from others in the same boat.

TIA!

  • I have been 80-90% effaced - 3cm for about 3 weeks.  At my last appointment on Thursday she said i was about 4cm dilated.  My due date was Friday and I'm still here. :)

  • I was 90% effaced and 2.5 cm at my doctor appointment 2 weeks ago, and still 90% effaced and 3 cm this last wek. The doctor gave me the "any day now" speech as well, but I'm still here. 
  • 10 days and counting since my first internal showed me to be 80-90%.
  • 1 cm & 90% effaced since Wed. I think I'm in for the long haul now...
  • At 38 weeks I was 75% effaced and 3cm.  At 39 weeks I was 100% effaced and 4cm.  My daughter was born on her due date 3 hours after my water broke while I was sleeping.  So I walked around for 2 weeks at 75% or more effaced.
