I'm 34 weeks and 2 days. Sorry TMI but me and hubby had sex last night. and about 10 minutes after I started having contractions. I dismissed them as Braxton hicks and tried going to sleep. woke up an hour later in more pain. so I tried drinking water like they have you do at the hospital(it makes Braxton hicks go away) that didn't work so after 3 hrs of contractions I went to the hospital. arrived around 8:30. they checked me and I'm a finger tip dialted but still thick(she didn't give a # or % i was checked for dilation at 32.5 weeks and wasn't dilated at all) they made me drink a bunch of water but I was still having contractions so they gave me a shot to stop them at around 11. about 12:30 they checked to see if I dilated anymore. I was still the same so they sent me home. I do still have some contractions but they are very minor and inconsistent I have 2 questions. question one. how many centimeters is a "finger tip" and has anyone else experienced this and gone to full term.
