I had 4 cm dilatation but he is too big 4.125 kg and 52 cm and he has the umbilicar cord tangled. He is a perfect boy, I have some pain but I will be ok. I can say that my contractions were painfull, but not too much, in a scale from 0 to 10, it was like a 5. I started one week ago with contractions and 0 dilatation, 3 days ago I Had 1 cm and today was 4 cm but my c-section was already programmed. I think I could have a normal delivety instead of the the c-section but my doctor recommended it for my health y my babys health, so no doubts to choose it. He is my rainbow baby and I love him, my maternity leave is 6 months paid... and believe it ... Im in Colombia.
