How fast did you dilate?

AnneBell95 · January 2015

im 35 weeks and 3 days with my first baby (girl) and dilated 0-1 cm. my doctor said she could stick the tip of her finger in my cervix. I have been having contractions sometimes regular but a warm bath usually help calm them down. I also have a lot of pressure in my lower abdomen area and back pain and my legs and feet are really swollen. So what I want to know is if this could mean a early delivery?? I'm due February 9th (PLEASE NO RUDE COMMENTS) also my baby moves like nonstop and I can feel her pushing on my cervix which feels like some one is pinching my cervix really hard and hurts very badly.

You can be dilated and effaced, for weeks.

Thanks

No, probably not going early.

What's up with your no rude comments? We aren't rude around here. We just don't understand why the excitement some people have over having "early babies". I'm a FTM actually hoping to make it to my due date or slightly past.

Maybe it's too early, but you lost me at PLEASE NO RUDE COMMENTS.

I mean, I don't walk up to a bunch of people and start a conversation, then halfway through preemptively shout at them to not be rude to me.

I was geniunly interested in reading your topic and the replies, until you demanded we not be rude.

In my head, I'm sticking my tounge out at you.

That being said, every pregnancy is different. Knowing how quickly other women have dialated in a previous pregnancy will offer you no actual data on what will happen with your cervix.

A: This is a public forum. People can respond in any way they wish.
B: You could be a fingertip dilated from now until you are 41 weeks. Your body will do its own thing on its own schedule. No two labors are the same.

So much this. It actually makes me want to be purposely rude.

Well last time I was in labor, I progressed from a 4 to a 9 in an hour. But I'm guessing that's not what you're asking.

You can be dilated weeks before you go into active labor. And it seems like this question has been asked 100 times this week.

In contrast, I stalled at 5 for 8 hours when I was in labor. Does this mean she might be just a fingertip FOREVER? ZOMG!

26 months.

Didn't dialate with my first kid so I guess you could say I'm still waiting.

You're like in the 10th trimester, huh? Explains a lot.

AnneBell95 · January 2015

Are you kidding me??? The whole reason I post NO RUDE COMMENTS is because the last few times I've post on here I got a lot of negative and rude comments about the question I was asking. Clearly I put it up there for a reason! And I don't find the pictures making fun of my question at all funny. I asked it cuz I'm a first time mom and didn't know what to expect a
Because all the women I know or that have talked to me in my family had to all be induced in to labor and never dilated. And another thing I don't want my baby to be born yet I'd like her to stay in as long as possible!

AnneBell95 · January 2015

Really? Google didn't really help trust me I always try google first. I just wanted some personal answers. But since all of you clearly just like to complain about the questions some of us ask on here I'll just stick with Google, screw this.. Rude people...can't read either....

AnneBell95 · January 2015

How am I being ignorant?? All I wanted where nice simple comments yet all yall care about is how I asked yall to be nice like its to much to ask for. Almost all the comments on my question are about how yall don't want to be nice just cuz I asked and some of you are just plain out making fun of my serous question. And you say I'm being ignorant????

DBJackson25 · January 2015

You don't make friends easily do you?

lulu4087 · January 2015

I'm a FTM and I'm so very over these "cervix dilated 1cm" posts. Read a book, look at the 4million previous posts on this and perhaps ask your Dr. about your concerns, what exactly being dilated 1cm means, etc. People aren't being mean to be mean, but these continuous repeat questions are getting ridiculous.

Oh FFS. The first thing I did was post a link to find where we just discussed this topic. You didn't even search here. You can't dictate how others respond on a public forum. It annoys people to be told by a stranger asking for help how to respond.
The silly pictures are just that, silly. Two days ago you received an outpouring of support when you thought your water had broken.

This thread was a fun read while pumping... Lol

Angeldcf · January 2015

Wow- if a message board gets you THAT riled up, you're about to be in for a rude awakening.

Since my previous pg has absolutely NO relation nor impact on your current gestation: I was dilated at 2cm/70-90% effaced for 2 weeks. I went 2-5cm in a few hours then 5-10 in 3 hrs. As a FTM, when my doc said I was 2cm, I ASKED HIM for further info given my medical/pg history. The guy was poking in my cervix so gonna make him earn that paycheck.

Exactly ^^

Yeah I guess I'm wondering why all these ladies didn't just ask their dr about dilation/effacement/progression of labor if they had questions when they were informed by their medical professional that they were one or two cm ... My dr wasn't even going to mention to me that I was 1 cm a week ago. I asked when the cervical check was over just bc i was curious. I know it doesn't actually mean anything.

There is so much butthurt in this thread from OP. Bump.

KDRichards08 · January 2015

I'm just going to put in my 2c here, sometimes when people post a question that has already been asked, they aren't doing it to waste your time or annoy you. A lot of us using the forum have very hectic lives and aren't on this every day; so we miss posts. For example, I typically only read or post to pregnancy boards Saturday mornings.

If someone posts a repeat post all you have to say is "Here, this thread might help. Good luck!" And post the link.

Sometimes people in this group get very sensitive about reports. You can typically tell from the title if it's something you've read or not, if you've read it skip it...

I understand you may have a hectic life and are not a daily visitor, but we shouldn't have to direct them to a previous post about THE EXACT SAME THING. That's what the search function is for.

Actually they are wasting our time and it is annoying. They should search or ask someone they have a relationship with or read a book.

I can't believe you're white knighting this bullshit...really?! :-@

Maybe you should learn how to call your doctor first..? Or ask questions at your appointment..? Talking to your doc didn't seem to be an issue when you thought your water had broken...

"Just to let everyone know I saw my doctor today for my regular appointment and she said I'm dilated half a centimeter like she could stick the top of her finger in but my water didn't break it was just clear discharge and that it was normal. What I find weird is that I wasn't dilated last night when they checked at L&D but I'm dilated half cm today? Has this happened to any one before between 35 and 36 week??"

You picked a very interesting hill to die on, WK.

I actually don't mind seeing occasionally repeated questions. And that isn't what the snark was about at all.

The snark came in when she suddenly shouted DON'T BE RUDE TO ME! In the middle of her post, before she received any responses.

If you need to demand that people not be rude, chances are you're asking a stupid question. In any case, this was a pretty tame post.

Now I get your question!

It usually takes (roughly) 40 weeks from conception to fully dilate.

Read a book.
