yay for good Dr apts!

this was my last monthly apt, next one is in 2 weeks.

We're 80% effaced and fully engaged but not dilated at all.  Baby's happily head down though so looks like those nice strong BH's were doing their job the past few days :-) So any time now.

Re: yay for good Dr apts!

  • neither can i, especially considering i'm not due for another 4 weeks.  wouldn't mind if she came next week though after i'm "full term".  we'll see what she decides to do.

  • Yay congrats! I'm totally curious to know what's going on with me.. I've been on 2 week appts, and start my weekly appts next week!

    If you don't mind me asking, is it normal practice for your doctor's office to do an internal exam so early on or did they have a specific reason to do so? Most that I've heard of don't do internals at least until after 37 weeks if there are no signs of labor.

    Also, how do they check for being engaged if you're not dilated? Is it by feeling your belly, ultrasound, internal, something else?

  • sorry, to clarify she's at -5, so not actually engaged, but in the right spot to get there.

    We did an internal this early because i've been on monthly appointments, and never get to do weekly ones.  my next one isn't for another 2 weeks.  They consider me full term at 36 weeks and won't stop labor if i started today (after yesterday's check in) so we'll see how it goes.

    as for telling how far down she is, that was fun.  Doc did the internal part and while she was there was pushing a bit on baby's butt too.  Basicly she's far enough down now that my Ob could feel the seams in her skull through my fully closed cervix.
