VERY UPSET.

So I'm kind of really pissed off at this point. I was 2cm dilated and 75% effaced at my last weeks appointment, today my doctor said I was nothing, closed up and not dilated or effaced. how does it go from 2 to 0, 75% to nothing? am I stupid or is that possible ... :|

    I had similar experience with one midwife saying I was 70% effaced and another saying I was 50%, I thought it was prolly just difference in opinion.

    75% to 0 though is a big difference ..

    I wouldn't take much stock in what the doctor says about effacement/dilation...it seems like they are guessing most of the time. Plus even if you are completely effaced and starting to dilate, that doesn't mean you are going to go into labor. I have been 90% effaced and dilated to a 1 for the past two weeks...doesn't mean anything really.

    This is why I think being checked ahead of time is pointless. It leads to more discouragement than anything for moms. I'm sorry this happened to you :(

    As PP said though, it means nothing in terms of when you'll go into labour.

    Idk much about that stuff. I went to the dr today and i am 70% effaced and a fingertip dilated. But i guess my cervix is thin and thats a good thing. She told me to do primrose oil

    I don't know to much about it either, just seemed like it can't go back to nothing after its already started you know? one thing I think it was was that he's a rushy doctor, he's always in and out and never takes his time. because I had a stress test done just a little bit ago and I told the nurse about it so she said she'd check to give me a piece of mind and she said still 2 and 75%... so my doctor is just a dumbass . I was also thinking of trying epo .

    Ahh. Yeah maybe he was just trying to rush it. I mean it does seem weird for it to go back to nothing. Whats epo?

    It's a pretty subjective measurement tool. I have been dilated to 4 or 5 and 20-80% effaced depending on the midwife for the past week and a half and no labour. Baby will come when she comes. Trying Accupuncture tomorrow.

    Aww, I'm sorry!!! I've heard of the cervix closing up but never undoing effacement! That's weird. Try not to be anxious bc your body will react to that too and continue to hold baby inside. 1300mg of EPO a day, walking walking walking and sex. Maybe create a spa like environment in your room at night to help you get calm and relaxed. Relaxation helps your body to OPEN.
