Dilated?

Question

I went to my 35 week check up and Dr checked me and said I was effaced and 1cm dilated. Then she told me to keep that baby in a little longer. Is this pretty early to already be dilating? I've had twinges and pains and a LOT of painful pressure since then, the only thing that help is sitting on a ball. Could this mean I'm dilating more? 😞

Answer

I was 1 cm dilated 50% effaced at 35 weeks. Now 37 weeks and 3 cm dilated 60% effaced. It can be so slow I wouldn't worry unless your water breaks you can walk around dilated for weeks

Answer

I wouldn't worry about it. You could stay dialted at 1 until 40 weeks.

Answer

I was 1cm and 50%effaced at 35 weeks and here I am at 37w3d and still 1cm and 50% effaced. So I wouldn't worry. It's pretty common to start dilating early but you can stay this way for weeks before anything happens to start active labor.

Answer

I was a 1 and 50% at my 37 and 38 week appointment. Even though they were only 4 days apart I didn't progress any although I swore I had. Now I'm just waiting for my 39 week appointment in a little under a week to see if I've progressed any since! Crossing my fingers.

Answer

I was checked at my 36 week appt and was 4cm and 50% effaced.  I was hoping that meant that he would be making his appearance in the near future but I'm now 37 +3 and still the same..although Tha last couple days I have been contracting on and off all day and have had menstrual like cramps throughout the day.  Unfortunately( or fortunately) you can stay dilated for quite awhile with no changes.
