Last Monday my OB told me that I was dilated 2cm and 70% effaced. But just last night at Labor and Delivery two seper ate doctors told me that I wasn't dilated even a little bit. My OB wants to induce me this week at 39w. Is it possible he was telling me that to get me to agree with it??
Happened to me. A girl checked me then a guy and I was less cm than before. They're fingers were was different sizes lol
IMO it's way more likely the nurse was just wrong. doctors wouldn't lie about dilation, because it's irrelevant to labor til you're in active labor, so no reason to lie. you can always decline induution if it's not medically necessary and you don't want to. :) here they don't induce til 42 weeks unless medically necessary
You should ask for a membrane sweep if you dont wamt to be induced so you can go into labor on your own
I would asked to be rechecked. Saying you are dilated is a big deal (in my opinion) and if you are you do what you think is best. But the doctor needs to give you a clear answer. I've been told it can be difficult to tell. So if a nurse just did it at the hospital I'd definitely get rechecked by the doc
Why does she wanna induce at 39
