Anybody 1cm dilated or less

michellelavelle · January 2011

Hey Ladies,

I am 1cm dilated and pretty soft. Are any of you guys? I know some people are 3 or more. If this isn't your first child how many of you went into labor being 1cm dilated?

I didn't have a cervical check today, but last week at 37w I was just a finger tip dilated and very soft (same for the check at 36w). With DS I was maybe 1cm dilated (I think less) at 39w and I went into spontaneous labor on my due date just one week later. I obviously didn't have a cervical check in between, but when I got to the hospital after just 4 hours of active labor I was already 7cm.

I've been a fingertip for the past week and they said baby's head is very low.

On Tuesday at 37 weeks I wasn't dilated at all, 50% effaced and -2 station. That's why I was a little freaked when the dr started talking about inducing me -- I know there's a way better likelihood of induction working (and not ending up in a c-section) if I were further progressed.

Is a fingertip the same as 1cm?

Nope, it's their way of saying a bit dilated, but not even 1cm.

I was 1 cm at my 36 week appointment. My doctor won't check me again until I appear to be in labor, so I don't know if that has changed. With all of these contractions, I certainly hope so. lol

At my last appointment (a week ago today), I was no dilated and no thinning out. We'll see what they say tomorrow. I guarantee you I have made zero progress.

About 1 cm here and baby doesnt seem to have any plans of coming out any time soon. although if my bp and swelling continue he may not have much of a choice.

BabyNSR · January 2011

I'm due nex week and am only 1 cm and 30 percent effaced. I still don't feel any contractions (BH included) or have any signs of labor any time soon. Hopefully I'll be one of those people that just has her water break, and I'll be off to the hospital. Wishful thinking? Maybe.

I am 60% effaced and not even a fingertip dilated. Baby is in good position though, according to the doctor, so I can't ask for much more.

I was just checked and cervix is a fingertip dialated and thick. Not expecting anything soon!

AnneEB · January 2011

At my appointment Monday, I was 38 and a half weeks and only 1 cm dilated and no effacement. Who knows what it is now, she'll check again on Monday.

My dr isn't doing internals on me

mimi1017 · January 2011

at my appt today i was 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced. im a little over 37 weeks. dr did say he has dropped. she felt the head. but she said that he probably wont be coming next week but you never know.

*Merry* · January 2011

At my 37.5 wk appointment yesterday I was still closed, possibly softening a little. Baby is low but nothing happening here. I haven't felt any BH either so I am thinking it might be a while before Baby P arrives

EmilyStL · January 2011

I had my first internal today; I'll be 37 weeks tomorrow. I'm 1cm dilated and 50% effaced, and the baby is still pretty high.

I am in the same boat due in less than a week and 1cm dialated (if the Dr. wasn't just trying to be nice).

Navymama · January 2011

I'm all closed up but soft and long and baby is not in birth canal so my dr says I'm probably going to be late, which isnt surprising to me because my first DD was 9 days late. I never went into labor natually, they induced me because during my 41 week+ appt they saw that the placenta was getting old and there wasnt enough fluid. I was probably about 2cm and 85% effaced.

DoubleFlyaway · January 2011

1 cm yesterday. A week ago I was closed but 50% effaced (she didn't say how effaced I was yesterday). So I feel like this is progress! And my doctor certainly seemed to indicate that things are progressing normally.

RumbleLina · January 2011

1cm and 50% effaced as of last Monday. I have a lot of contractions so we will see if there is any change this upcoming Monday.

I was talking to my BCBS nurse and she said that while dilation and effacement are both important (obviously) you cannot progress with dilation without effacement so as long as you are thinning out then dilation doesn't matter as much because you can go from snail speed the mach 10 dilation in matter of time.

greyt00 · January 2011

At 38 weeks (the 1st time I was checked) I was 1 cm and 70% effaced. Baby is very low. I have days with lots of BH contractions and cramping and days with much less.

This is my first child and on wednesday at 37 weeks and I am not dilated at all. I am 70% effaced but no dilation yet. I am just waiting for that!
