I'm 37w/4d and have been 3cm & 70% effaced since 36w. Baby's head down and moving a lot. I'm just going to get my walk on every day now and cross my fingers for the full moon this Sunday! DR doesn't think I'll make it 2 more weeks but I'm not having many contractions.
Today I make 36 weeks and 3 days ago I went to the hospital with contractions and was told am 5cm dilated & 80 effaced,so am on bed rest.. Its scary to be this dilated at only 35/36 weeks..
I don't have a clue! I don't think my midwife does internal exams? And I honestly don't think they are necessary. whatever happens happens!
Im 38+4 weeks and i had my check up with the midwife yesterday. Iv never had any information like that, i dont think they do internals unless necessary. I just get told how engaged he is. For the past 6 weeks he has been 4/5ths and this time i went he is 3/5ths. But hoping he turns up himself otherwise im back to get an appointment to be induced which i dont really want.
Update! Contractions started at 1:30 am ( 14 hours after sweep). Have been coming 7-10 minutes for 2 hours so far. Here hoping things progress not stall
Update! Had my 39 week appointment today and we are now scheduled to be induced on Monday night and will most likely have her Tuesday her actual due date, I will be exactly 40 weeks! We are excited and nervous!!
Saw MW this past Wed. ( 39 weeks + 4day) and was 2cm dialated, baby at 0 station, and about 50% effaced. Due date is tomorrow and REALLY hoping and praying baby comes this weekend! Good luck to everyone
I was 1.5cm and about 60%effaced yesterday. Been having contractions since 8am but 20min apart. Some have been quite the doozy. I hope that means tonight will bring on a trip to the hospital
Due May 17th. At our Wednesday appt I was 2cm and 50% effaced. I have been 1cm since 35 weeks now and going to have my membranes swept for the second time next Thursday.
