Who's walking round effaced?

My doc did our first internal yesterday... and she said I'm 1 cm and 50% thinned out. (It's nice to know that SOME part of me is thin right now!)

Anywho, since DS is head down, I'm just wondering who else out there is/was effaced for a few weeks before delivering. I totally want this kid to jump out a week or two early, but I'm not sure if we can expect that or not. Just wondering if thinning out and having a head-down baby means anything this early in the game. I know he's been head-down for 2 weeks now...

    Little guy has been head down and I have been 50% and 1 cm for three weeks.  And no new progress.

    It pretty much means nothing.  I've been 1cm dilated and 70% effaced with him head-down since at least 36 weeks.

    Sorry.

    I'm not sure about effacement but I've been walking around at 2cm for weeks now.

    This for me, too, only I'm 2 cm. Three weeks, no change. BUT I'm in the waiting room right now, so maybe I'll have made some progress this past week!

    It means nothing.  You can be dilated and effaced for weeks before delivering and locked up tight up until you deliver.

    I get that you hit the 'wall' and you are ready but at not even 37 weeks, I wouldn't want to jumpstart anything yet. Give it a good week and then go from there.

    I was 50% effaced since 30ish weeks.  I've graduated to 80% in the last few days. 

    Good luck!

    At my last check, a week and a half ago, I was 1 cm and fully thinned. The week before I was a fingertip and nothing. I'll see tomorrow if I have any further progress.

    She's been head down since at least my ultrasound at 35 weeks.

    80% here...means nada to me.  I am miserable and working.  It's been extremely cold here in Southern Cali (well we aren't used to 30 degree weather).  My back hurts so much because it's cold so I haven't been out and about walking.

    I've been 70% effaced and 3 cm dilated for 3.5 weeks  :(   Doc guessed he'd come a week and a half early on his own, but I still haven't been feeling any of the signs that labor is impending.  I was really hoping she'd be right.  She'll be inducing on Thursday though, so he's coming one way or another.

     Thanks. I am just emotionally drained because for the past 2 months I have been hearing from my customers that he must be coming "any day now..." which has made the past 2 months drag on forever. Plus my cousin, my friend, and another friend's sister all just had their babies in the past week. So I want an outside baby sooner rather than later, though I know the next week or two would still be a little too early. I just think that about a week or two early would be lovely. Didn't know if being halfway thinned out already would mean he was coming a week or two early or not.

    Really they you check in the office as a guide for when you go into the hospital. If you go in contracting and tell the nurse I was 2 in the office and they check you and your dilated more then chances are they will keep you. So when people say it doesn't mean anything- kinda, but its more of a guide for use down the road or to tell if your in early labor. Saying that Ive been 2cm, 80% and 0 station, which means low low head for almost 3 weeks now. My OB thought I would go closer to Thanksgiving and nothing yet!! However I did loose my MP last night, so lets hope that I will go into labor soon!! Good luck to you!!

    Exactly this. And it's frustrating, even though I know it means nothing.

    Last week I was 75% effaced and the OB said he could feel her head when he was in there. So, I've been walking around just over a week that way. I go in today to see if there's been anymore progress.

    Let's see here.  2 weeks ago, I was 20% effaced and 0 cm dilated.  1 week ago, I was 70% effaced and 0 cm dilated.  I have had strong contrax since Saturday night but every time I start timing them, they die off right around the 1 hr mark.  So here I am.

    I have been dilated to 1cm and 80-90% effaced and even 0 station (baby head down in the hips) for weeks now.  I guess I was about 35-36 weeks when that all happened.  No further progress since then though.  Good luck!
