Each pregnancy is different. Personally I find strange you're complaining about not hurting during a pregnancy. But, my advice? See a GP.
"2 cm into labor at 40 weeks" means that a pregnant woman is 40 weeks along in her pregnancy and her cervix has dilated to 2 centimeters as she begins the labor process. This dilation indicates that her body is starting to prepare for childbirth, but she is not yet fully dilated (which is 10 cm) for delivery. Being 40 weeks pregnant typically signifies that she is at or near her due date.
i have been 1 cm for 3 weeks now! I dont think that how dilated you are really matters unless you are in active labor!
40 weeks is always only a judgement. Your baby will come when it is ready to. Some people go days/weeks overdue.
i went to the dr yesterday and am .5 cm diolted and mt cervix is short its at 2.1 do you think i will go to term? i gess there is a swab test that can determine if i will have the baby with in the next 2 weeks. is this true?
Irritation from the doctors figures checking the cervix, or your in labor.
im 21 weeks pregnant and was worried about my key hole surgery performed years ago, is it something to worry about. its not hurting at all, but how far can it stretch
happy birthday mommy, less than a week
There's really no way to tell. You can be slightly dilated for weeks before going into true labor. On the other hand, you might not be dilated at all and then go into labor closer to your due date. It's oddly not a very reliable way of telling when you'll deliver, until you are in active labor.
This is normal! However, once you become 7 cm dilated is time to get to the hospital. Even if your water breaks you don't have to go to the hospital until your contractions are 5-7 minutes apart.
You sure can. I'm 37 weeks, my baby hasn't dropped a bit either. But my doc did tell me I am 1 cm dialated and 50% effaced. She thinks I will have a long labor. It is my first.
Yes, they will give you a large dose of magnesium which works as a muscle relaxer to stop your labor, then they will give you a smaller continuous dose to prevent you from going back into labor. I was 30 weeks pregnant, 3cm dilated and 80% effaced and they were very successful in stopping my labor.
== == 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.
