Any dilated yet?

Question

Hey all, 
FTM at 29 weeks 2 days ; is anyone else at this same stage and dilated ? It appears I’m fingertip to 1 cm dilated and yesterday evening I started feeling low back and low pelvis cramps. I haven’t felt any BH contractions . I don’t have OB appointment for another 4 days and I’m worried. Anyone in the same boat?

Answer

You can be 1cm dilated for months before giving birth, or not dilated at all and go into labor same day. This is why they don’t typically check until 36 weeks because it can cause undue stress. 
Last pregnancy I wasn’t dilated EVER when they checked. At exactly 40 weeks I had an appointment and my OB said “sorry girl, still nothing, still quite high and closed, but who knows!” I went into labor that night.

Answer

I'm ready for my baby but I'm scared to check after feeling her head but it's behind my low area bone so I feel safe now if I press and she's past my bone I'm gonna freak out bc the hospital is 2hrs away and I have to drive my self and I have my one year old and old Soo ready but not ready

Answer

I was at fingertip since 24 weeks with my last pregnancy, and went past my due date. It doesn’t have to mean anything

Answer

Some people stay 1cm dilated for weeks and others will not be dilated at all and go into labor that night. I wouldn’t worry too much unless you start having painful contractions, water breaks etc. Definitely bring it up to your doctor at your appointment l.

Answer

I went into the hospital for dehydration on Friday and they said I was fingertip and that it was perfectly fine and normal... I’m 27w5d.

Answer

They dint check us until way way later it's not safe to do cervix checks
