I had to go back to the hospital yesterday
Because I started having more contractions and my baby hasn’t been really active like she usually is .
They told me I’m still at 4cm dilated and 60% effaced
Idk what that means 60% effaced?
Omg your pregnant? Congrats and I hope everything turns out ok with the pregnancy
@mama_kat89, my mother in law works there
@mama_kat89, they were very nice when I went there
@mama_kat89, yes that’s where I’m having my baby
@mama_kat89, st Joseph?
Yes they want me to keep her in for at least 37 weeks .
Okay well sounds like your doctor's are on track with the 37/38w labor. Hang in there.
@kambam, 😂😂 ok
And I do still have contractions
Usually when I move a lot or when I get mad I start contracting
You're having pain though? It will still help to roll your hips around on the ball and spread your legs in a squat. You won't go into labor from those don't worry 😂
@kambam, no because I’m only 35 weeks they want me to wait until 37 for baby to come .
I have 4 weeks until my due date but they told me I will probably have her before like around 37-38 weeks
your cervix has to thin to 100% before labor. So, you got a little bit to go. Have you been walking, squatting, bouncing on ball?
Contraction questions
I had a membrane sweep today. Before the sweep I was 3-4 dilated & 75% effaced.
Alright ladies! I finally progressed! I'm finally a centimeter dilated, 50-60% effaced and she's at a -3 making her way down. She's weighing 8lbs and is in the 90 percentile! ❤ Oh and she did a membrane sweep!
Are there any effective ways & things I can do to help soften and dilate my cervix faster? At my appointment my doctor said I was MAYBE a fingertip dilated and 60% effaced.
4cm 60% effaced and still no baby, contractions, or water breakage 😣😭
Advice please!!
I will be 38 weeks this Sunday I am 1 cm and 50% effaced
How can I dilate more? I have bad hip pain so don't want to be walking today.
@potorra7, yes I’m having a girl
