Can you close back up after being dilated?

Question

Is it possible to close back up after being dilated  some? I was given cytotec Thursday night and it dilated me to a one. I was given pitocin but wasn’t progressing so I was sent home. I just want to know if it’s possible that I can close back up? I really don’t want to given that I go back in Tuesday to get induced. Have any of you moms been dilated then went back down?

Answer

Why’d they only give you one dose of cytotec? Usually they give u some then wait a couple hours and give u more...I dilated so fast after my second dose. Didn’t even need pitocin 😁

Answer

Yes mines did, even after my water broke that’s why I end up getting my second c section after failed Vbac.

Answer

Yes :( you can .

Answer

Yes your cervix can close up. It happened to me. Two weeks ago I went in for my 38 week appointment and was dilated to a 1 and dr told me next week we'll induce you. Went back last Monday for my 39 week and was hoping to have dilated some more and hoping to get my appointment to get induced. Got checked and cervix was closed! I even had him double check and he says baby probably moved positions. So here I am 40 weeks and still no baby. I'm hoping Monday at my appointment I'm dilated.

Answer

I’ve heard it can!

Answer

Well google says “Yes, the cervix can close back up. In some cases the cervix can regress and dilation can reverse. ... Some women may find that their cervix is dilated for weeks or months before labor. Other women will experience a cervix that is completely hard and closed until labor begins.”
