Question- I'm 37 weeks so I go weekly to the doctor now. I went last Thursday and was 3-4cm dilated and 50% effaced. My…

Well that's good then. But I'm right there with you... I'm having too much pressure to even get out of the house though, and I'm just gonna sit here. I don't think my son is gonna stay in there until May 22nd. He seems to be pretty ready and I'm definitely ready when he is 😦

I'm not leaking! and I'm still only 4cm dilated so I'm about to go get my nails done and just wait patiently. Hopefully he doesn't take another 3 or 4 weeks @babymay2016

Well my doctor actually randomly called me.... and she told me to wait until my appointment on Thursday 😕 but in your case if you think you are leaking, you should not wait too long. That is different and more important.

Call and say you are having alot of pressure or just go to l&d

@babymay2016,

Okay! Are you going to your OBGYN?

You can be 3cm for weeks or also dilate super quick in a day and not even know it! If you think you are leaking fluid, you should most definitely go in. I was 2cm and 50% at my appointment on Thursday, and can't time my contractions but I'm feeling very sharp pains in my lady parts and tightness/pain in my lower back and lower abdomen. I'm gonna go just in case. Don't wanna wait until Thursday or wait on my doctor to MAYBE call me back. If I was leaking fluid I would be there already

Oh my I'm not sure how long I was at 3 cause I wasn't feeling anything and hasn't had my appointment yet so I could've been that for a while then the leaking prompted me to go L&D

Thank you lol @akendriasmommey that's the answer I was looking for 😂

yes

Well I've been 3cm for almost two weeks @dlove2016

I didn't even know I was contracting I was leaking water tho once I got there it broke all the way and still didn't feel contractions until maybe 2 hours after being there I didn't know I was even having them they were 2 min apart

You can stay at 3cm dilated for weeks

I haven't had any contractions or any signs of labor @dlove2016

She told me just stay off my feet and try not to trigger labor so that the baby stays in longer

That's crazy you're in active labor at 3 and up regardless that's what I was told but all drs are different I wish you luck tho

Oh weird my doctor didn't make it a big deal at all @dlove2016

you can call but most likely they will just say go into the hospital. I'm suprised they didn't send you already

Wow at 50% effaced and 3 cm I was admitted for labor

Effaced means more than dilated so since I was only 50% there was no reason for me to go to the hospital especially when I'm not showing any signs of labor @mzred29

Yea I thought that mean something but do what you gotta do boo if you feel leaking go in @briplusone

just call and tell them you think you are leaking fluid. or just go to L&D and they will check you.

Because I was only 50% effaced @mzred29

No I'm not trying to do all that so I'll just call my doctor and go in myself @lucieelledge

Why would they send you home if you are 3-4 centimeters my doc said at 3 I go in

I would just go into labor and delivery and have them test you
