I’m not dilating at all. So I have a couple questions to ask;
1. Is it normal to still be completely closed up?
2. He stopped moving as much, should I be concerned?
3. Can you dilate all the way in one day time (just curious)
4. Does anyone else feel a sort of burning pain shoot through their crouch from time to time? What could it be?
I’m sorry I’m a first time mom and I’m so curious about everything. My doctors are very vague on any kind of information.
@naniibear, alright that’s it. I’m about to change your name to nana 😂 has your SO tried rubbing where it hurts?
@tanirani, I know nothing about yoga 😨 all I do is bounce on the exercise ball but never a full bounce because I give up as soon as I bounce a couple times 😏😂
@tanirani, it’s mainly in my upper back 😒🙄 which is so weird, because I know it should hurt in my lower back... but for some reason there’s like a pulled muscle up there or something that just won’t let up!
@babybumplump23 @naniibear, yeah! This pain is intense sometimes! I also noticed prenatal yoga makes the pain a bit better at least for me.
@tanirani, @dinamarie1995, thank you guys! I never knew what the lightning crotch was. I read about it, but had no clue that I was experiencing it 😂 it makes sense now
Wow, I thought I was reading my own post lol. Same with me 🙄😖 but we’re almost there!
Hey! I’m at a simile stage 38.5 weeks, closed up, no dilation, Doctor was not concerned. I also get pain it’s on and off. It’s normal to dilate just before giving birth at least what I read. I’m tracking movements as much as I can that’s what my doctor recommended
1. Yes some people don’t dilate until delivery.
2. Yes he’s running out of room
3. Yes labor can happen anytime and progress fast or slow. Hopefully it will be a fast labor!
4. Lighting crotch and it sucks.
Your almost there mama good luck!!
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
I was dilated to a 3 at 38wks and still had to wind up being induced when I hit 41wks. And then labor was 48hrs! Dilation doesn’t mean much until active labor
