Hello Mommies! I have a question... I am 38 weeks on Saturday and last week at my appointment my doctor told me I was 80% effaced and then today he told me I was 50% effaced. This is confusing to me - can this actually change? I didn't even realize till after he left the room or else I would have asked him myself. He also said that I am about a fingertip dilated (not that that matters). Thanks in advance
That is confusing for sure...not sure that you can decrease in effacement maybe he was off the first time when he said 80% I would call and ask him to clarify. I am 35 weeks and when I was last checked two weeks ago due to being preterm I was 2cm dilated idk what I am now but baby has definitely dropped for sure. After three prior babies I know that feeling....lol.Best wishes.
