Closed Cervix
September 11th, 2003
I am 40 weeks pregnant now. Been at 2cm for 3 weeks now and doctor says i'm in labor with contractions but my cervix is closed and wont open. Is there anything I can do to get it open? It needs something to open her up and get delivery going. Confused

There is a drug in cream-form (don't remember what it's called) they can actually apply to your cervix which may help dilate it.

You need to prepare yourself emotionally for the possibility of a c-section delivery.

Good luck to you and yours!

Thank you for the info. I wasnt sure what would happen but the baby was turned before so was gonna have to have c-section then now it should of been vaginal but thats ok. As long as she comes out healthy and fine. I will just get back into the option of c-section. Thanx again for your help!
