Good thing? Bad thing? I should probably know these things already

Today's one of those days. Woke up 6 AM to empty baby's punching bag and avoid having a mess on my hands to find that I have a cold.  Ok, good start. 

Had my first internal check today, and apparently I am dilated 2 cm and 50%..uh 50% something.  Since I've gotten home, I've realized that I have no idea what that means at all, if it's good, bad, or if i need to do some serious cleaning around the house to get ready for an early kid!  How on earth do I know what's supposed to happen?!  Guess today I get to do research while I wash a billion baby clothes that I got from yesterday's shower.  Does anyone have any good places for me to find information about this?  

Oh, 26 days left! hopefully

Re: Good thing? Bad thing? I should probably know these things already

  • you're 50% effaced. And at this point, those 2 numbers don't really mean much except your body is progressing towards labor. It could happen tonight, or in 3 weeks. You just can't know. But, if you still have a lot of stuff to put away from your shower, I would definitely get on it... just in case.

  • I would take this as an incentive to get things done. It may not mean anything, but it should be an urge to finish things.
