Hi mamas quick question , do I have to be contracting to dilate ? 🤔🤔 I don’t feel much but I’m thinning and dilating could I be having contractions and not knowing . If so how am I supposed to know when to go to hospital if my water doesn’t break
Can i make it to my due date like this ?
@ambrerumph1440, ok so I will just pay attention to my body then no other signs of anything so far . 🤷🏽♀️
@kig7717 your body will tell you and I went all the way to 8 before them pains started getting crazy
See I’m 3cm 75% but I don’t feel anything ? Or is it when i hit like 5/6cm my body will let me know and start making pronounced pains ?
With my first I didn’t feel my contractions and got to 3-5 cm without feeling anything. With my second I had prodromal labor for 5 weeks and was only 2 cm at 39 weeks.
For Me with My First Daughter I went to the doc and they told me I was 2 cm dilated and I didn't have contractions nor feel anything if I was. My water hasn't broke with any of My Kids!! I have been induced with all 3. Some women say it's scary but I don't find anything scary about it!!
I do love the way people say you will know when your in labour and having contractions well I will be honest I didn't know and my pains weren't that severe till I was fully dilated I'm sure everyone has different pain levels
Contraction questions
I had a membrane sweep today. Before the sweep I was 3-4 dilated & 75% effaced.
Having contractions every 3-4 mins since 4:44 ima try to wait them out BC last time I was having contractions 3 mins apart I wasn't dilating any but I was a finger tip and at my last appointment I was a full centimeter dilated.
So threw up the brew but still having some contractions. I suppose it will help dilation.
Sigh so I guess my appointment for Friday to get monitoring is still on .
I hope my fluids stay consistent.
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
@kig7717 right your body is going to tell you and also watch for baby movements and I didn't make mine never always before
