When did you start dilating?

Question

I am 33 weeks and 6 days with my second baby. And I am dialated to a 1 and 50% effaced. Which scares me :/ when did you dialate?

Answer

I'm 32 weeks and 6 days today and my doctor told me I'm dilated to a 1 and 65%. She only checked because I told her I was having some cramping, so she told me to keep an eye out for contractions coming every 5 mins and that would be a sign to head in. She didn't seem too worried about me going on bedrest or anything but I did get a steroid shot just to be safe and make sure the baby's lungs are developed enough. I'll have to go in again tomorrow to get another shot (you need 2 within 24 hours) from what I've read some women can be dilated for weeks before they start to see actual labor. So I'm just keeping my fingers crossed we can make it as close to 37 weeks as possible! But I wouldn't stress too much, your OB should be tracking you closely at this point and Babies at this stage have a 98% survival rate! Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!
