How far dilated are you?

Re: How far dilated are you?

  • 38 +3 weeks and no dilation, no mucus plug lost but baby is in head down position. My sister is driving me nuts saying I better schedule an induction date but I'm perfectly content letting little one come when it's ready.

  • 36 +2 and baby's head is very low, 0cm dilated and cervix is shortened to 1cm. Anyone know what shortening means? Is that like effacement?
  • 37 weeks tomorrow 2cm 50% effaced. Doc thinks I'm going to have him soon, offered to strip my membranes next week if I want.

    I am in the same boat as you! 38 + 3 with no dilation but a head down baby. It was A lil discouraging for me! But glad she is head down.
  • Just came back from the doctor and am zero everything on my cervix at 39w1d, which is where I was last week and the week before. I think this baby is stubborn which means I'm in for it as his mother!
  • Was 2 cm dilated at my appt yesterday and am 37 weeks today.
  • Dilated 1.5 cm and 70% effaced.  Been having contractions all day.  Baby is due Thursday!

    FTM at 38w4d. I'm not dilated, 50% effaced and anterior cervix. Baby girl is also really low, although I didn't ask for the station. I'm kinda bummed I'm not dilated because I am being induced on Sunday and if my cervix were more favorable, the odds of successful induction would be much higher.
  • 3cm and 70% effaced at 39+6. Dr said he "doesn't think I will make it to next week's appointment, but if he's learned anything in his time in obstetrics it's that nothing's predictable" ... hoping this babe makes his/her appearance before next Wednesday, otherwise they'll be talking about scheduling an induction. 
  • 37 + 5. 1 cm dilated, 0% effaced. Doctor doesn't think I'll have her anytime soon. I was late with my first so I'm assuming this one will be the same. Oh well, gives me time to get stuff done that I have been procrastinating!
  • 37 weeks 1.5 dialated and my mucus plug came out just last night!!! Good signs cant wait to meet our little guy!!!
  • 35 weeks and 5 days and I am 3cm and 70%
  • Zero! Extremely thin cervix though :)
  • 36+4, 25% and 1cm. So discouraging being a STM and being 70% and 3cm with my daughter at this point! Grr!
  • 36 weeks 4days 1cm
  • 36 weeks yesterday, 3 cm dilated and 90% effaced. Baby girl is low and ready lol
  • STM at 40+2, as of yesterday was 4cm dilated and 80% effaced bu still no sign of baby girl. Have been hospitalized due to sudden spike in my BP which they are bringing down with meds. LO seems perfectly content in me so they may end up discharging me tomorrow unless they induce me (in my hospital they rarely induce before 41 weeks unless there is a medical reason). Either way am hoping for one way over another because being away from DD1 for so long is heartbreaking and being in the hospital surrounded by women who are going into labor and having their babies while you aren't is beyond frustrating. Ugh. Trying to stay positive but it's getting hard due to lack of sleep.
  • 39 weeks 2 days n I've been 2 for my past 2 appointments now. I've been having contractions for 3 days like bad ones waking me up at night but still nothing happens. But if I don't go before Tuesday night I'm being induced Wednesday morning. Fingers crossed something happens this week I'd love to sleep for a few hours. Lol
  • 36+3 and 2 cm with tons of contractions especially at nights :((
  • I had my 37 week appt today. 4cm 70% effaced. Doctor said she is going to check me "aggressively" not sure what that does but oh man. It's been 4 hours and my lady bits still hurt.
  • I'm 38 weeks today and got checked, he said I'm 1/2 cm dilated/ almost a 1.
  • I'm two days shy of 38 weeks and nothing has changed in the past two weeks. He said my cervix is still in the posterior position but his head is really low.
  • 38w+4 had to get some bloodwork done and monitoring at the hospital at today's appointment. I was checked when I got there. 3.5 cm 75%. Before I left, I was checked and sweeped at 4 cm. It didn't hurt like I was expecting and hardly any cramping yet. That was at noon. Fingers crossed we will have our lil guy soon.
  • 1cm dilated at 35+4 (: lots of cramping after the check yesterday.
  • at 36+1, i was checked and was at 2cm and baby was engaged and at a +1 station :) my doctor doesn't usually talk about effacement, usually just about the station the baby is at
  • 37 weeks 3 days 3 cm and 70% effaced! Hopefully baby soon!!!
  • 37/4 1.5 cm. At my appointment last week, my cervix was closed. No contractions or anything, so I'm trying not to get too excited but I can't help it!!
  • 37w4d nothing going on down there at all. I have had contractions, mostly at night, but nothing else going on.
  • I'm 37 weeks. I've been at 1 and 70-80% since 35 weeks.
  • My doctor checked me yesterday and I didn't like that feeling at all... I know she was working and she's done this to me before, and maybe bc we were giggling prior but it felt so weird! So I told her no more checks unless she absolutely has to and im cool not knowing unless i meed to know lol

    But to answer OP's question I am 37weeks and 3cm (2nd baby)
  • 38+ 3 days, was checked Wednesday and was not thinned and 1/2cm dilated. Was having contractions last night and today it was 1 every hour then I had 4 in a hour, went back to ob today and I am 1cm dilated and 70% thinned. Doc said to go walk so I did and know I am not really having contractions just a constant pain in my lower back and pressure down yunder
  • 39w5d, 4cm dilated 70% effaced... SUPER READY for baby to be here. Had contractions every 30 minutes from 3-7pm and now at 11pm nothing! Hoping I wake up to some more intense contractions thru the night. :) fingers crossed!!
  • 39 weeks tomorrow 4 cm dilated 90% effaced and finally hitting my wall hoping this little girl comes out or my doctor would like to break my water
  • Was checked again yesterday at 37+2 and I'm 2.5 cm dilated, 90% effaced/thinned and baby is at a +2 station! Doctor joked and said we'll see if you even make it to next weekly appt
  • 38 weeks, have been about 2 cm, 80% effaced and head resting low (don't know on a scale of -2 to 2, though) for about 2 weeks. 
  • 38 weeks. 4cm and 80% effaced. Inductn scheduled for the 24th if he isn't here by then (due 10/28)
  • 38+5, 100% effaced, 4cm dialiated, baby is in the farthest position down that's possible! Let's get the show on the road!!!
  • I'm 40 weeks and 4 days... Still at 1 cm and have been since 38 weeks. Looks like I'll be getting induced at 41 weeks :(
  • I was 1 cm on Tuesday, I've got another appointment today and I'm hoping for a positive change. Due on the 21st
