Same thing happened with my girls. I stop dilating. Dr checks and says if it's active labor you'll dilate and we'll know. NOOO I WONT !😭
Contraction questions I had a membrane sweep today. Before the sweep I was 3-4 dilated & 75% effaced.
How can I tell if I dilated??# first time mom.
I been walking this week so hopefully Monday I've dilated some!
How do you know if you are dilated? Does your water have to break so you can be dilated? I'm 38 weeks and I still don't feel labor stuff lol
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.

I had to be induced never dilated after certain amount. Sent home so much. I know it's gonna be the same 😭😭

Well... with my daughter I was in active labor and around 7cm I started closing so my midwife decided to break my water to move things faster.

@bbhausfeld77 thats insane!

@bsandra they won't do anything he said unless I start dilating more.
Sandra ·
@bbhausfeld77, how dilated are you?
Brooke ·
@bsandra almost a 3 . He's gonna check me again to see if I've dilated more with all the pain and he said that's the only way since I'm only 38
Sandra ·
@bbhausfeld77, let’s hope for the best for you and baby! Are you at the hospital rn?
Brooke ·
@bsandra yes😩
Sandra ·
@bbhausfeld77, may be try walking or bouncing if you feel comfortable doing it.
Brooke ·
@bsandra I want to walk I'm so uncomfortable but I'm nervous to ask lol
Sandra ·
@bbhausfeld77, ask them mama, if you feel like you need to!

@bbhausfeld77 I was the same with my daughter... They had my walk for a whole damn day to see if my water would break- and well it didn't... But contractions started up- so they broke my water... FYI- having an orgasm while dilated can bring on labor faster... As soon as your contractions start-up the doc will break your water.

No. I told them I wanted to leave. After Sunday if I haven't had him they said they'll help me dilate in the hospital. Hopefully I go before that but I doubt it. 😑

They can't help me even with contractions till 39 weeks
Antonia·
@bbhausfeld77 Wow, that's CRAZY! I was 36wks and 4days and they helped me. I was in so much pain and had so much pressure... My contractions were non-stop, so they said let's get this party started... I was admitted at 2:30pm and she was born at 7:44pm...
