so much pressure down there. i hope im not dilating any more, or effacing any more. my belly has been getting hard on and off, but it's not regular really... I don't feel anything else pain wise.. But I also didn't feel dilation or effacement in the first place, but was quite surprised to find out i am 70 percent effaced and 3cm dilated already. Docs didn't tell me im close but they sure acted like it when they bum rushed me onto those steroid shots.... By the way, anyone have a good concept of what 3cm dilated and 70% effaced looks like?
