36 AND NADA!

Kaitlyn

Not dilated. Not effaced. Cervix still really high and she’s just bouncing around in there. Living her best womb life I guess.

🙄

Was hoping for VBAC but now I have to schedule a repeat C section which will be 11/11.

Edit to say I have polyhydramnios and my fluid is above 35 so they do not want my water to break on its own. If I was to be dilated to 3/4, they would admit me and break my water under supervision which is what I was hoping for. :(

I was only around a fingertip dilated at 36 weeks and at 37 I was still only a 1. Going in for my 38 week appt today and will find out if I’ve dilated more, but 36 weeks is still really early to base the decision of a csection on just because there’s no dilation yet..

I had no progress until all of a sudden I progressed really fast. My water never naturally broke. I hope everything works out the way you want it too. Best of luck

I still have my fingers crossed I can progress in the next two weeks. I guess as long as we are both safe, that’s all I should be concerned with. Just a little bummed this is my last baby and I possibly can’t do it my way.

Same with me. 36 weeks and nothing. My c section is scheduled on 11/14.

Are there other concerns? 36 weeks is still really early to worry about dilation.

Haha I get that. I am hoping for a vbac as well but this baby doesn’t want to go head down so we will see.

Yeah I think I was in that bummed/shocked stage when I posted and left out about the poly 😂

Sam • Oct 23, 2019
Definitely makes sense! Here’s to hoping you progress!!

But you still have 4 full weeks til your due date... Things can happen really fast, within hours or a day. Why are they rushing to schedule a c-section?

Thank you! I feel bad being bummed about another c section. As long as we are both safe, that’s all that should matter

Then I understand! Hope everything goes smoothly for you 👍

Of course I still hope she will come before the scheduled C section. 🤞🏼

I’m the same- But already had CS scheduled. Might possibly be moved up cause I’m measuring 39 weeks lol just belly. Haven’t checked on ultrasound. I refused VBAC though
