question ladies, is it bad to be 60 % effaced but not dilating? have any of you ladies had that? help please.
@coltroyalsmama1224, I'm only 35 weeks do you think I might go into labor way later than my due date ?
No it just means baby isn't ready yet! I experienced this same thing with my son. My due date was Dec. 19th and he was born on Christmas Eve only because my midwife was able to somewhat strip my membranes. Otherwise I would've been induced the weekend after Christmas lol.
@missalexisnicole, don't be scared he will come when he is ready you'll be fine 😊
Oh I'm so ready to have him. It'd be awesome if he came right now. But I'm still scared lol
@missalexisnicole, I remember feel tht way with my son he was born tbe day after his due date but towards the end I was just ready to have him in my arms lol
@missalexisnicole, thank you and good luck hope it goes along well I still have about 5 weeks but I'm being told by friends I look like I'm carrying low and that she will be here before her due date. I'm nervous even though it's my second lol 🙈
Yeah you're fine! (: I've been 80% effaced, barely 1cm, and he's VERY low since 36 weeks! I'm not a little over 38
@missalexisnicole, thank you I was worried because with my son I wasn't told anything about being effaced just when I was 39 weeks I was 1 cm dilated.
I'm 80% effaced and barely 1cm. It's not bad at all. Just means it's not time yet! When I went into early labor (which ended up being false) the girl in the room next to me was in active labor and she was 100% effaced and dilating 1/2 cm every hour. I felt so bad for her 😭😭
at this point... there's no way to know. You'll know more when your midwife/Doctor starts checking you. The first time my midwife checked me with my son I was only a fingertip dilated lol and only 1 cm dilated at 40 weeks. When I started labor and headed to the hospital I was only dilated 2 or 3 cm. I'm hoping with my next munchkin it'll go a little faster haha
