Cervix status roll call!

Since most of us are starting to get cervical checks (I'm assuming since I am due at the end of the month and just started mine), lets do a little poll:

How many weeks are you?

Cervix status at last check?

How are you feeling about it?

  • Will find out Thursday.
  • 36 weeks

    Soft but no dilation

    I'm frustrated that all my cramps and contractions haven't been doing more, but, my mom (birth photographer and sitter for our girls during our hospital stay) had a rough month and just ran out if her pain meds early. She won't get any more for a week and will be really sick for the next week, so ill take a little reassurance that it doesn't appear we'll go into labor before she gets a refill!

  • I will be 37 weeks tomorrow. 1cm and 30% effaced. I've decided not to get checked at my next appointment. I think my doctor just checked this time because she was doing the strep test and it was one of those "while you're down there" sort of things. She said that my cervix status didnt make a difference unless I was 3cm or more in which she would advise me to take it easy, but everything looked A-OK.

  • I'll play. I've had checks since 34 or 35 weeks.

    How many weeks are you? 39w2d

    Cervix status at last check? Today still closed up tight. No dilation and no effacement.

    How are you feeling about it? Asked doc when we start talking induction. She said we can any time I'm ready. I decided I don't mind going to 41 weeks but don't want to go to 42, so we'll keep checking the next two weeks and if no progress we'll start the induction process.

  • 38 weeks, no dilation or anything. Doctor said it doesn't mean something can't happen tomorrow though.
  • Doc doesn't even start until 38 weeks. I'm 37 tomorrow. I'll let her check just out of pure curiosity next week.
  • 37 weeks Was checked about 2 weeks ago but not since. Wasn't dilated at all at that point. Been having strong contractions on and off. I'm just trying to take it day by day or ill drive myself crazy. He will be here before I know it...I hope lol

  • No checks. I am wondering if it makes the anticipation easier or worse? I feel like if I knew something was going on I would get really anxious even though it means absolutely nothing as far as my progress or delivery date.

  • I had one (my first) yesterday at just over 35 weeks. I was shocked at how bad it hurt! I needed a heads up on that one!! Thankfully, all the contractions I was having didn't move things along. I really want her to stay in there until at least 37 weeks but hoping for 40. 
    I'm lame and can't get my sig to work. This will have to do...

    It's a Girl! Due September 28th!! 
  • 38 weeks, 2 cm, 50% effaced, baby at -3 station.
    I couldn' t careless but just curious if the contractions I feel are doing their job and they are apparently.

  • 37 weeks, 1 day. Last week at my 36 week appointment I was 2 cm and 50% effaced. I'm guessing he's going to check again tomorrow. I suppose it's nice all the BH and cramping is doing something. I was dilated from 36 weeks on last time and went to 40 so who knows what will happen.
    Lots of love to my BFPB, Squishy622 <3

  • 38+4
    1 cm and 60% as of 8 days ago.

    I have contractions that don't do anything and if my cervix had changed at all after 30 hours of contractions, I would already have a baby! So frustrating, but I'm on the countdown now! RCS Thursday at 1:30!!!
  • 36 weeks

    My OB won't check for dilation until 38 weeks.

    Since dilation doesn't mean too much I'm not stressing about it.....I figured when she's ready it will just happen.
  • I'm 39 weeks. At my appt yesterday she told me its soft but still closed. Baby has moved down a lot since last week. I'm feeling hopeful, but relieved to know that my doctor won't let me go past 41 weeks. If I don't have her on my own she will probably induce me around the 5th.
  • 36 weeks 2 days, 1 cm, OB suspects that LO is breech...

  • I am 38 weeks.  At my 37w2d check up I was 2 cm, 80% effaced, 0 station.  I'm beyond ready to be done.  Just waiting it out now.  The NP said she would guess only one more week, but that was last Thursday and here I am.

  • 35w5d (I had my first cervical check at 31w4d due to some PTL excitement)

    60% effaced, 2cm dilated, baby's head is nice and low

    Going on modified bed rest has really caused things to chill out, and as this pregnancy continues to progress, I'm less worried about LO coming too early.

  • 36 weeks 2 days.

    At my appointment last week I was 1 cm dilated and very soft. My doctor also said her head was so low that it felt like she was going to fall right out.

    I know it doesn't mean much so I'm trying not to get too excited but the fact that my doctor suspects she might make an early arrival has got me anxious!

  • I was checked at 36 weeks since they were doing the strep b test. I was 1 cm dilated and 70% - 80% effaced at the time.
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • I'm 35 weeks. Not sure if I'll get checked at my appt next week.

    I was checked at 31 weeks in the hospital when they stopped my preterm labor. I was 100% effaced and a fingertip dilated. However three days later I had my third tri ultrasound so they checked my cervix and found it long and closed. Haven't been checked since but have had constant braxton hicks (averages every 5-10 minutes most days due to irritable uterus) and a few episodes of painful contractions for 1.5-2 hours.

    On the one hand I'm curious to see if I'm actually dilated now. On the other hand, what difference does it make? At this point I'm just waiting for my water to break or for bleeding to let me know I'm close...

  • How many weeks are you?  39 Weeks!  (ticker is off, and i don't care to change it :p )

    Cervix status at last check? Had a false alarm at 37 weeks and was checked. 2cm dilated and 50% Effaced. Have not been checked since because I don't want false hope. 

    How are you feeling about it? Pretty good. Midwife doesn't check until due date, which is in one week. I have a feeling though I am going to be overdue. Trying to get into that mindset and keep busy. :)

  • 38 weeks and 4 days

    Last check was this afternoon and I am at 3cm and 70% thinned.

    Feel a little frustrated after a bout of false labor over the weekend. Because of my age she wants to induce this coming Tuesday so at least there is an end date in sight and I won't just hopelessly walk around wondering when...sighhh.

    At the same time I want him to cook as long as he needs to.

  • 38 weeks 4 days now. My last check was 37weeks 5 days and I was 1.5cm and 50% effaced. Been having a lot of contractions since then so curious for my next appt Thursday.

  • I'm 36 weeks, 2 cm dilated, but still high. Not that it means anything, but it still means 2 less cm to go once it really starts!

  • How many weeks are you? 36.5 weeks

    Cervix status at last check? Monday last week. 1 cm dilated 80% effaced. Next check tomorrow.

    How are you feeling about it? I feel eh. It could mean nothing and I could walk around past EDD like this. On the other hand if I am making progress, that's great! I am interested to see if there is much progress from last week, tomorrow.
  • 38 weeks 4 days -- 3.5 dilated 50% effaced. No change since 37 weeks.
  • I won't start getting internal exams until 40 weeks... ask me again in 12 days! :)

     

  • 36 w 4 d

    First check on Monday due to fears of ptl. 1 cm and 80%. Baby's head at 0 station.

    At first a little alarmed bc those were the same numbers I got less than 48 hrs before DS was born. But then midwife pointed out that I could have been like that for weeks before the check and just progressed quickly from there. So, still hoping to make it to at least 37 weeks! Almost there!

    39+2. As of yesterday, "a loose 1cm". Last week was nothing. I've been having timetable contractions that peter out to nothing after an hour or two for the last few days at night. I'm also losing my MP very slowly. I'd like to be done but my mum doesn't arrive until TH night so I'm hoping labour holds off 2 more days for DS's sake.
