Dr. Appointment Update

I went to the doctor today. He examined
me and his finger when all the way to her
head. He said i'm 1 cm dilated, but my
cervix still had some thickness to it.
He said things are progressing ahead of
schedule but it'll pay off in the end (not
sure what he meant, maybe a shorter labor
& delivery?). He said everything was
fine and baby sounded great. I'm 35 1/2
weeks. Everyone's freaking out that he
felt the head and i'm 1 cm already, but I
read that you can be dilated for a while
and nothing happen. I'm putting money on
anywhere from october 8th-15th (hopefully
not friday the 13th!). Lol

Oh crap I hope that's ok! I'm 32 and a
half weeks and i'm 1cm dilated and my
cervix has softened but is still thick
too!
My labour is already planned - he'll come
a few days early, i'll start contractions
around 8am (so I can get a good sleepthe
night before) and then have about a 4-6
hour labour and quite pain free!! Lol!
I dont think that will ever come true!
But i'm sure you can be dilated and
nothing happen for weeks, please correct
me if i'm wrong!

Hi! I am not pregnant but one of my
friends just had her baby in april and she
was dilated 2 cm for like 2 weeks before
anything happened. She made it sound like
it was completely normal, so it probably
is!

yeah...I was 1cm dilated from about 38
weeks and went 9 days overdue so I
wouldn't worry too much about it. Some
people are dilated like that for awhile
and then others can be not dilated at all
and go into labor the next day. You just
never know. Good luck!

I think that everything will be fine. I
am glad that everything is going well. I
am sure that you can be centemeters
dialated and not going into labor.
Everything will be fine.

When I wiped last night I had a little bit
of brown blood on the paper. Is that
from the exam? It was just when I wiped
once and it wasn't on my underwear or in
the toilet.

most probably from the Dr. Sticking his
finger up to your open cervix..No big
deal..

I was a stretchy 2 cm dilated for more
than 4 weeks - she was overdue!! This was
after the doctor said, "you know, I
wouldn't be surprised if I saw you way
earlier than your due date. You could go
anytime."
the truth about labor is, you cannot ever
know when it will start. You are only 35
1/2 weeks, so i'd just get my rest and
relax - you are not even considered full
term yet. So even if you were to go into
labor, they would give you something to
stop it.
The blood on the toilet paper was from
your doctor checking your cervix.
You might ask that he not do that at every
appointment. It not only isn't necessary,
it is invasive. A lot of doctors check
once every few weeks - and some don't ever
check at all. They go by the reasoning
that dilation does not mean labor is
imminent.
Get your sleep. You will need it.

Thanks, but i'm fine with him checking me.
I want to know how things are
progressing.
I want to rest, but I have too much energy
to clean. I'm trying to get her room
ready.

aww, babies are 'fun' at every age. Just
more 'trying' at some stages especially the
colic stage! When that was over I heaved
a sigh of relief.

Lol...Thank *god* .Oni didn't have colic!!
I don't know what I would've done!!!!!!
She was a *very* laidback newborn and she
still is! Thank you *jesus*!!! She'll
just sit there and let me do whatever i'm
doing!
Of course that's because I used the ferber
method when she was very young. That's
why she doesn't have "arm-itis"!!
Hahahaha....
Now, the only time she cries is when she's
sleepy or hungry. Other than that....She
just hangs out and laughs at
*everything*!!
