18-12-2008 - So, now I\'m not worried about the Cervix anymore!!!!

My mood while writing this blog:
sore

Okay, all I keep hearing about is the Cervix dilating. Is yours? Mine is... Mine's not..... Well, I thought that was an indication of when you'll go into labor. At my doctor's appt I got my doctor to check my Cervix. She said I had not dilated any. My first thought was "oh great, she's never gonna come out". She told me not to get caught up in the Cervix stuff that I could go into labor, and have my baby that night. She said somebody that is 2 cm could wait two weeks. It just depends on when your baby and your body are ready.. The only thing that it matters on is inducing. It's much easier to induce when you've started to dilate she said. So, it could still be 2 weeks for me. But, then again it could be tonight. :D Oh she said her head is in position!!! But, I could've told you that I can barely walk... ha ha So, to all of you ladies like me that haven't dilated yet, you could still have your babies before the "due date" but really... at this point.... not even the due date is far away... ;D

When i was at OB yesterday she told me that my little man's head is way, way down, and I am not due until end of Jan. But no dialation for me either and she said the same thing your dr did. She also said that losing your mucus plug is not that big of a deal either and does not indicate that labor is going to start soon. she has had patients that are 3 cm for 3-4 weeks with no mucus plug and baby is not budging! i cant walk well either. the pressure of his head on my pubic bones is pretty intense that i feel like i am limping sometimes.

Thanks:) I knew that too, but it's hard not to get caught up when you hear everyone talking about it! And you are so right. Even the due date is not far away at this point. Take care...xoxox

I am a personal testimony of this...Let this encourage you. With my first baby...I went to the dr complaining of lower back pain on a Wednesday... he checked me and I was thick and closed...nothing! Well...three days later....I got in bed on a Saturday night...and gush!!! My water broke...we got to the hospital 30 min later and I was 5cm and she was waaaay low...4 hrs and one push later...out came my baby girl! This time...I have been dialted for two weeks. Now I am 3cm and 75% effaced and baby is at a +2 station...however..I feel he'll be stuck there for years and come out with a cone head!!!!

I'm 2 cm and 90% effaced and have been for almost 2 weeks! I was the same way with my 1st child too. It's all up to those contractions and when they get going! The only good thing about dilating and effacing a little bit before going into labor is you have less work to do once you start labor. :wink
