ha! break..

effaced is thinning of your cervix. they'll tell you , you're "x cm dilated and x% effaced " you'll most likely be effaced completely before you even go into labor. I was 3 cm and 100% effaced around 3 pm and 11 pm that night i went into labor

I was in labor with my lil princess for 4 hours and hopefully the same with with my prince

@ashsmith91,

whats effaced??

it was 5 years ago I honestly can't remember. I only remember when I first went into labor it was 4-6 minutes by the time I was headed to hospital. I was 40w4d and 4cm 100% effaced when I got there. but that's all I can remember. they gave me epi. so the rest of the 14 hrs of my labor was in and out in memory. lol

my mom was in labor for 26 hours with me..

@ashsmith91,

how long of a break did you get in between

usually 40-60 seconds it'll last and a few minutes in between each one.
