pmarie33 · September 2013

Post them here.

pmarie33 · September 2013

Last week - 36w5d - 0cm dilated, 70% effaced, -1 station

Today - 37w5d - 2cm dilated, 70% effaced and -1 station.

I'm happy with the progress so far. A few contractions here and there, but nothing time-able or regular.

36 weeks. Starting to dilate

Mommylovesryker · September 2013

38 weeks and so far no dilation or thinning out.

RedZee · September 2013

37w4d: 35% effacement, fingertip dilated.

38w5d: no change

(I like this - let's keep updating this thread!)

MrsStuessyWI · September 2013

36 weeks, 5 day - not dilated, about 50% effaced and a very soft cervix, baby was pretty low

37 weeks, 5 days - 1cm dilated, about 60% effaced and baby is -1, but VERY close to being at a 0 (engaged)

Next appointment is Friday at 39 weeks.

Yesterday: 36w3d 1cm dilated, not sure about effacement or station. I'm just bummed out right now, complete bed rest, pressures still crazy, likelihood of a September baby instead of October, and I will almost certainly be induced soon and if pressures keep rising it will be a c-section. None of that is what I planned and I'm trying to wrap my head around it. Oh well, healthy mama and baby is the ideal outcome regardless of how it happens. My pity party has now concluded!

Courtniii · September 2013

Last week- 35w3d 1cm dilated, thinning cervix and head was low

JLW0504 · September 2013

Today, 36w4d (ticker is incorrect) and I have no idea about dilation, etc. OB hasn't checked. I have been passing all of my NSTsand BPPs with flying colors though. And the GD is well under control.

jtothenel · September 2013

37 weeks as of yesterday and I have NOT dilated but am softening. Dr informed me yesterday that I will be induced oct.5th. His head is REALLY low so hopefully everything will go smooth and the cord won't cause stress since its around his neck and I can deliver naturally. My original due date is oct. 8th.

sarahcatie · September 2013

At 36w, 1d was a whopping 1/2cm dilated, very soft cervix, very low head. OB said she thinks we will move quickly once things pick up (if only I believed her!).

scarver · September 2013

35weeks tomorrow- still breech, Bp still high- apt tomorrow- not dilated or effaced

Mae208 · September 2013

37 weeks, 3cm dilated 60% effaced and 'super super soft cervix'. Yay!

MtnChickaD · September 2013

35.5 weeks: no idea! \:D/

Ajoyd · September 2013

36 weeks. No cervical check yesterday at my appointment. OB was fine with waiting a week to start them since I haven't had any contractions.

nbcarlson · September 2013

36 weeks-40% and 1 cm
37 weeks- 50% and 1.5cm
38 weeks (Monday)- 75% and 2.5 cm

Having lots of un-timetable but gradually stronger contractions.

I don't have another check up until next Friday which is two days before my due date. Hoping I don't make it!

slh6363 · September 2013

34 weeks 2 days, fingertip dilated, 70% effaced, -3. Will be another early one most likely due to high BP! Hoping to make it to 37 weeks!

danandkam · September 2013

Last week: 37wk2d 3cm 40% -3 station

Next check is tomorrow morning at 9:00!

Starofd00m · September 2013

36 + 4, 1 cm dilated, 50% effaced and Baby is SUPER low. Contractions are anywhere from 5-13 minutes apart and still just feel like bad menstrual cramps, though I think the intensity is increasing...just chilling at home per doctors orders to see if this LO decides to come soon or if the labor stops!

tashad18 · September 2013

I go to the doctor in the morning. I will be 37 weeks, 5 days.

Last week at 36 weeks, 5 days I was 1 cm dilated, 80% effaced. Baby had dropped.

The week before at 35 weeks, 5 days I was 1/2 cm dilated, 70% effaced.

ssandmann · September 2013

35W 3Days...Nno idea...Dr. will check cervix at my appointmnet next week. I would like to know though, only becuase I havve so much pressure it really hurts to walk.

SilverCB · September 2013

38 weeks tomorrow and so far not dilated or effaced. My next appt is Friday so we'll see if I've progressed any by then.

sfshorter · September 2013

36 weeks tomorrow and I'm still pregnant. No clue about the state of my cervix.

Roseallen112 · September 2013

35wks 2days 2cm cervix softening and slightly effaced. Contractions slowed a bit from last week but still still making sure they're known.

cerafina205 · September 2013

36wk 3d not dilated or effaced, only mild BH, baby has not dropped

CousinVicki · September 2013

i have no idea why everyone is getting checked so early.

Fruitcove7 · September 2013

Monday, 37 weeks, 5 days: 1 cm, 50 % effaced. Lost plug yesterday.

zenjenjen · September 2013

38 weeks and no cervical exam, so no idea. Growth ultrasound scheduled for Monday and Dr. appt. on Wednesday. Fingers crossed for the harvest moon gravitational pull - lol.

Crinita · September 2013

The midwife practice I go to doesn't do cervical checks, so I guess I will post how today's appt. went (I am 36 + 3 today). Baby is measuring right on target, heart rate is good, and she is still head down. I mentioned the fact that I feel like I am about to start a period, just kind of emotional and have dull achy cramping down there. She said that that is generally more indicative of the possibility of labor starting soon than Braxton Hicks. She agreed that I am doing the right thing taking it easy, and recommended that if I get increasingly crampy to try to put myself on bedrest. She really wants me to make it to at least 36+5 and preferably 37 (most birth centers will not deliver unless 37 weeks). Fingers (and legs) tightly crossed! She said you can never know but she thinks that I will probably go early. I think I just went on my last pre-baby grocery shopping trip... my bag & baby's bag are both packed, and I guess any further preparations will have to be mostly handled by DH! I guess it's a good thing that I have books to read, crochet to work on, and the bump... going to try to take it very easy for the next two days.

Gwyneddlesliegrace · September 2013

37w, no cervical exams. Gbs negative though!
Lots of contractions. In doing epo orally and cervically now. They were originally planning to induce by 39, but are now giving me to my due date! (Gd and on meds, this is of course depending on my weekly u/s and nst.)

mominwaiting29 · September 2013

36w 1 day frequent cervical exams due to PTL at 32 weeks and constant BH baby is Super Low and cervix is "maybe thinning"

Basically they don't think I will go early at all.

BlessUrHeart29 · September 2013

36w5d, having a few contractions but baby hasn't dropped and there isn't much going on down there according to the doctor. So it looks like a pretty safe bet that this baby is in it for the long haul!

mrsblueeyes · September 2013

Haven't been offered a cervical check so no clue, but I "think" I've been losing my mucus plug

I was told by my OB that she does cervical checks at 36 weeks because she is down there already! But aside from that it's the only one she will do unless you request it! (aside from once you are ready to deliver)
