This means your cervix is open 1 cm (you need to dilate to 10 cms to birth the baby). Your cervix is 80% effaced which means it is getting very thin -- you need to be 100% effaced. -1 refers to where baby is in relation to the coccyx (tailbone or "spines"). There are "stations" for baby's position. To give birth, you need to be 10cms dilated, 100% effaced and baby needs to be at at least +2 station.
yes you can still do that.
I am also 1cm dilated and 80% effaced...1 week ago I was 1 cm dilated and 70% effaced. It is different for everyone...Although my DR. said the norm was 3 days after you lose your mucus plug...good luck
There is no way to accurately predict when you will have your baby
it mean that person not in the stage of disease which shows symptoms but he has organisms in body which cause disease. if the number of microorganism is increased 40 percent, it shows symptoms OR, it could apply to the childbirth process. Basically how much the cervical opening has pulled back or thinned. But this is also tied to how much the cervix has dilated, or opened up to allow the child to be born. Fully dilated is 10 cm.
happy birthday mommy, less than a week
The baby will be here by the time you and everyone else reads this answer!
Not necessarily. It's the dilation that is important, just as much as effacement. You will need to be 100% effaced plus 10 cm dilated in order to give birth.
It just depends on the person. There are so many factors to consider when estimating birthing times. Sorry.
== == Theoretically, as long as you are past the point where the fetus is viable, active labor can begin any time in any pregnancy, no matter how much you are dilated or effaced. This means you could go into active labor in four minutes, four days, four weeks, etc. There's really no way to tell.
If the cervix is 100% effaced and one centimeter dilated, it means that the cervix is completely thinned out but dilation is not that much. The baby will come when he is ready, but some women walk or have sex in an attempt to bring on labor.
Being 37 weeks pregnant, 2 cm dilated, and 80% effaced indicates that your body is preparing for labor, but it doesn't guarantee that labor will start imminently. Some women may remain in this state for days or even weeks before labor begins, while others may go into labor soon after these changes occur. It's important to monitor your symptoms and communicate with your healthcare provider about any concerns.
Labor can be unpredictable, even at certain dilation and effacement measurements. Being 2 cm dilated, 75% effaced, and at a zero station indicates that your body is preparing for labor, but it's difficult to determine exactly how far away labor is. Some women may progress quickly from this point, while others may take longer. It's best to stay in close contact with your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.
