So this is baby #2 for me and I checked dilation tonight to see if were making any progress. Id say were at a 3 MAYBE a 4 but no contractions and I had no issue feeling babies head AT ALL. Is it normal for me to feel babies head that easily? Doctor explained how to check dilation but did not warn me what to do if it seemed like baby was SUPER low. He only said at 4 cm that I could have her.
@mommy2beaug12th i did. Feel free to message me!
At least I ain't the only one with a hubby like that he better be ready once I recover lmfao

@mommy2beaug12th very much so! The doctor hasnt even told me how far effaced I am not once the entire time but keeps me updated on dilation so I find it cool that i now know this haha
@juliaschade41 my doctor said just make sure to wash hands thoroughly
Your doctor is way different than mine! Lol and Google! My doc says never to do things like that on my own and Google says that's the doc's job only. Lol can't help ya there.
Always amazed
At the amount of seats that come into seat checks totally wrong. I did roughly 30 checks today and only 4 were right! Lots of babies are now safer in the car!

My triplets were born via emergency c-section.... on Monday I had an appt with my ob at 6pm and he said I was still 2cm dilated, then I went home and was having servere pain that came and go and would wake me up from sleep, they were coming from 2 to 17 min apart, and I couldn't walk, and I had an extreme urge to pee, and that was new, so my mom came and took me to the hospital, and they hooked me and the babies up to the monitors and I wasn't contracting as much as I had thought, come to fi...
I love that I know how to check myself for dilation! I'm completely closed but cervix seems really soft .. I can feel his head down there though ! It's so fascinating to me ! Wow






Got to the hospital at 4 am to start my pitocin, well.. I was put on the drip at 430 am , and was 4cm dilated and 80 percent effaced, an hour later. The nurse came in to check me, hours later, and I was at 6 cm. I got the epidural at 6cm.. But it didn't work for me, no more than 20 minutes later, I couldn't take the pain, I was screaming and crying.. And felt everything.. most terrible pain ever, I called for my nurse to come in and she checked me again, said I was ready to deliver, babys head ...
When did you ladies start getting checked to see if your dilating? I am 36 weeks 4 days and not once have any of my doctors checked to see if I am or not.. Only been checked to see if my son is head down, and he is.. Last week I went and the doctor said that she didn't wanna check to see if I was dilating cause she didn't wanna "mess with my cervix" 😕 or "get things started" those were her words... FTM
@mommypowers1517 still not gonna risk it.
