I went to the Dr. Today for my 40 week
check up......My due date is tomorrow
(january12.)........The doc said that I
was 4cm dilated and 80% effaced.........He
said I could go at any time........But I
was talking to my mom and my cousin and
they were saying usually they just send
you to the hospital if your dilated that
much......He said he was going to try
stripping the membranes to help me go into
labor......He did that like 2 hours
ago.......So does any one have any idea
whne I will go into labor??? And shouldnt
he have sent me to the hospital???

Technically you are in labour but it has
been known for people to go for days being
dilated and not give birth go to the
hospital when you are ready to perhaps if
you start feeling contractions or are
worried because you haven't been sent. Go
and just let them check you out for your
own piece of mind maybe.

Stripping the membranes can help, but
isn't a sure-fire method of starting
labor. If your body is not ready,
nothing will happen. We can't tell you
when you'll go into labor, obviously.
Just that eventually you will.
I'm sure your doctor would have sent you
had he thought it was necessary. If
stripping your membranes starts labor,
then you will be going to the
hospital, right? And if you don't go
into labor, you're obviously not ready to
give birth yet. So what would be the
point of going to the hospital. Do you
see my point?
You're in your last days. Just relax and
try to take things as they come.

When I was 37 weeks with my 2nd daughter
they told me I was 4cm dilated and sent me
to the hospital but once I got there they
told me if I did not start to have
contraction they would send me home so I
went in the bathroom and had sex with my
husband at the time and 2 hours later I
was in full blown labor

If you show up at the hospital, they'll
probably just send you right back home
again. Without contractions or your water
broken, they won't do squat without your
doctor's instruction. Trust him over your
mother and cousin, who .I'm sure have not
attended medical school.
