So today I went into the ER due to stomach pains & the midwife decided to check if I was dilated. She said I was only 1 cm dilated - so what I wanna know is, is that okay for someone who’s about to be 36 weeks on Tuesday? Should I be concerned or is that not a big deal? She didn’t seem to stress it but I thought to be dilated meant to close to going into labor? Pls help, thanks (:
Thanks ladies I really appreciate it cause this is my first bby and I sometimes feel silly over asking my doctor questions. It also doesn’t help that I don’t have a single doctor I see a handful so así always forget to ask because I see so many people.
you’re totally fine! for a first time momma usually you don’t dilate much if at all until you’re in labor. with my first i don’t think i dilated any until i actually went into labor. but with my 2nd and 3rd i had started dilating since 32/33 weeks. dilation is okay. if your cervix starts to thin out then you should be more careful!
