Yes. within 2 days 10cm is considered fully dilated You have probably already had "false labor" pains (kinda like monthly cramps) BUT when the time comes you will know. labor is hard to miss
Menstrual cramps are common but they are not normal - most people can prevent menstrual cramps with lifestyle changes, but if severe you should talk to your doctor about finding the cause. Tampons can increase menstrual cramps as they can expand into the cervix. You may be better using menstrual cups, softcups, or pads if you find tampons increase your menstrual cramps.
CASTOR OIL CAUSES CRAMPS DIAHRRHEA AND DEHYDRATION...I WAS TOLD NOT TO USE IT...YOU SHOULD CHECK WITH A DOCTOR ABOUT USING IT FIRST...HOWEVER IVE HEARD THAT PRIMROSE OIL PILLS INSERTED INTO VAGINA HELP THE THINNING AND DIALATION...HOPE THAT HELPS IM 2CM 80% EFFACED AND COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS GOOD LUCK!!
it all depends if you have had children before and how far along you are. i am currently 13 weeks pregnant and can fit one finger in my cervix which means i amm 1 cm dialated. i am on my fifth pregnancy and it is normal for my cervix to be like this as it never returns to its same shape after childbirth and will always be slightly open. just because your outer cervix feels open it does not mean you are open inside as your mucus plug seals it all up. i would keep an eye if it is your first pregnancy as some women suffer from incompetent cervix which causes the cervix to dialate too early. symptoms of this is increased pelvic pressure with or without period cramps or spotting. to ease your worries i can say that this is very rare and when it does happen it generally happens between 14 to 20 weeks. good luck to you
Yes, tampons can commonly increase menstrual cramps so if you keep experiencing this you may want to consider other options like pads or cups. Tampons can hit your cervix if it is low, or expand into the cervix as they fill with menstrual flow. Also if the tampon is too low down it may hurt as you sit or move about, so make sure the tampon is far enough in as this may be the cause of pain.
If you are not a doctor or midwife there is no way you should be feeling your cervix, you could easily introduce an infection which could be fatal to you and/or your baby. Keep your fingers out and wait until you go into labor.
no, but you should take a test.
More than likely, they are increased menstrual cramps rather than gas pains. Tampons commonly increase menstrual cramps as they can expand into your cervix which is already sensitive during menstruation, and by absorbing vaginal moisture they can 'tug' on vaginal walls adding to cramps too. If this happens often consider options like menstrual cups or softcups which can reduce cramps and are more comfortable than tampons.
Well...it can be either a heavy period or a miscarriage. If it does happen to be a miscarriage, you may experience very painful cramps as well.
No, and this question makes no sense.Menstrual cramps are a result of hormone-like chemicals that cause the uterus to contract in order to shed uterine lining during menstruation, if these are too high in number they cause the blood vessels in the uterus to contract and reduce blood flow so cutting off oxygen to muscle.Tampons can't get rid of menstrual cramps, if anything tampons can make menstrual cramps worse by expanding into the cervix which is already sensitive due to menstruation. Certainly scent has nothing to do with menstrual cramps and scented tampons pose a health risk.
yes it could mean you are going to labor i would get it checked first they may just send you home or admit you for a few hours if you dialte anymore Yes. This is the kind of question you should ask your doctor. If your water breaks or leaks get to the hospital immediately. If the cramping does not stop, get to the hospital. Good luck with your baby.
Yes they do.. thay do not get period cramps but they can get muscle cramps.
