Bed Rest. ? So, I posted last night saying my back was killing me and my stomach was hardening constantly. I had a routine OB appt today and mentioned this to her, so she decided to check me. Apparently I'm 1 cm dilated and cervix has significantly thinned (like 80%+ effaced). She said he's head down and that he has dropped. Posting this as a photo to show that you apparently don't need to "look like you've dropped" because I don't think I do but apparently he's down in the birth canal already. She wants me to limit all activity which is hard because I'm Mommy to a very active 2 year old who I'm needing to lift constantly (in and out of her car seat nonstop especially). Worried since I'm so early still (32 1/2 weeks). My daughter was 37 weeks so I assumed I'd go early again but not THIS early. Even though I shouldn't be going back for 2 weeks, I have an appt next week to do an ultrasound and check again. I've heard you can be dilated and fully effaced for like 6 weeks so not sure if they're just being overly cautious?
