How long did you

How long did you sit at 3cm 70% effaced(baby -2) and water bag is bulging out..I know everyone different. I have small irregular contractions but they aren’t changing my cervix so they just let them go. I was 2cm 60% effaced last week. I think I lost my mucus plug/bloody show last night at 11pm(but not sure if it’s from cervical check that my mucus had blood mixed in, but I was bleeding before the check the reason I went in).. I’m 32 weeks and 4 days. I feel like a bus ran me over down there(I’m sore). I’m just trying to figure out if I should pack my hospital bag or just wait it out? My last was born at 34weeks.

Was 4cm for 14 weeks with my first. 3cm for 10 weeks and 7cm for a week with my second. I had a friend who was 0cm and had her baby 5 hours later. Dilation means nothing

Yeah. I know they are. They thought he’d come right at 32 weeks but he’s staying in for now at least. My back is starting to hurt today but idk if that’s just from laying around today. I’m also still having some bleeding, so I’m not sure. I guess I’ll find out tomorrow at my appointment.

Ah. I don’t think I’ll hold out that long. This is my 3rd baby and the other two come early. My body doesn’t hold baby’s in for full term.

I was 3cm for about an hour. When I got to the hospital I was 3cm and admitted right away and was already 5cm before I was in a room. My son was born at 35 weeks

My last went that fast. I went in at 8cm dilated. I’m not sure what’s going on with this or my body is just slowly getting ready.

I'd suggest you go to a hospital that has a level 3/4 NICU. If you have a bulging bag I would suggest that they give you some kind of steroids just in case the baby does come early. You really do not want a NICU stay.. The steroids can help with lung development. -NICU RN

Also this would be my 3rd premature birth. My first was at 36 weeks and my second was 34 weeks. They thought this one would come around 32 weeks

I just left there last night. They told me I was fine to go home, just take it easy until I see my ob tomorrow. They didn’t think I’ll go into labor today or tomorrow but couldn’t say for sure. I had steroid shots at 26 weeks when I dilated to 1cm and 50% effaced. I just don’t know why I’m so sore, I wasn’t sore yesterday but my lower stomach, back and pelvis is sore and has been since I woke up.
