Running while dilated

I've been running consistently with my doctors approval this entire pregnancy. Today, at 36 weeks, I had my first internal and found out I am 3 cm dilated. I was so surprised, I forgot to ask him if I could still run. I ran yesterday with no issues, but now I'm not sure. Any thoughts? I'm a diehard runner and wanted to run to the end (barring any issues or my doctor saying no).

    I have a feeling this thread will have few responses because no one can tell you for sure. You really need to call your OB's office and speak with your OB. I would have called yesterday at the moment I realized I had forgotten to ask. Especially as a diehard runner, I'd keep that at the forefront of your conversations with your OB as your progress through to the end of your pregnancy.

    I would definitely call your OB and ask.  However, my OB had no problem with me running up until the end.  At 36 weeks, I was 1 cm, at 37 weeks I was 2 cm, and at 38 weeks I was 3 cm.  He said to keep on doing what I was doing!

    I decline checks and I'm just doing what feels right. Could definitely be dilated and not even know. I'm 38 weeks and still running 3 miles fairly easily. Listen to your body. Its not likely you would feel like running if a baby was about to come out of you.
