first internal - 39wks - anyone go into labour bc of it?

Wondering if my internal exam today will speed things up regarding labor. I was at 1cm today. I am 39 weeks. Any thoughts/experiencing you can share????

  • its all random ive been told sorry!  my due date was moved up they thought i would go mid month but i didnt and im approaching the original 30th due date.... i was at 1 cm for 2 weeks and then i was soo sure i had to be more lol i was 1.5-2 damnit! im fully effaced and barely dilated they say it means nothing really its all just for estimating but as of yesterday the dr said if i dont go by mon he will induce me now....this peanut is just taking its time i guess.  

    the internals may cause you some contractions or cramping but i have never heard of it "causing" labor. id like to know what doe cause labor!

  • oh no!!! that sucks!!! the anticipation is killing me (and you Im sure!) oh well....guess both our peanuts are just really cozy. lol. :)
  • I had mine Monday and I'm still pregnant.  :-)
  • Nice to know other people are in the same boat!  I had my first internal today, and wondered the exact same thing ... though I figured it was probably just wishful thinking.  I'm going to have some spicy Indian food for dinner, then take a long walk, with my fingers crossed!
