You drank a big cup of raspberry and you started having contractions 5 min apart but it didn't change your cervix what can you do to get your cervix to change?
It is possible that your cervix will never dilate and therefore you need to have a c-section.
Pink Gooey discharge 40 weeks pregnant?
Maybe a "show" where you are losing the mucus plug that has been in your cervix until this point. If you are also having contractions, labour is on its way. If you are not having contractions, labour may still be a few days (or weeks, but at 40 weeks probably not) away.
If your having painless contractions and are 1 centimeter dilated are you in labor?
no, I am 37w 2 days and I'm 80% effaced and 1 cm and they don't think I'll go into actually labor for at least another week if not more. your contractions are just getting your cervix ready for actual labor.
Does either braxton hicks or real contractions cause you to dialate or are they not related?
Sometimes they can lead to some cervical change (including dilation, softening of the cervix, etc.). This is why it's important to call your care provider if you are having lots of Braxton Hicks contractions before you reach "full term" (or 37 weeks). On the other hand, even if your Braxton Hicks contractions are dilating your cervix, they might still be helping to rotate your baby into an optimal position for labor or even toning your uterus in preparation for labor. So even the contractions that aren't "real labor" are still doing something!
What if you have 2.9 cm cervical length in 21 weeks of gestation?
Your cervix is slightly thinner than it should be at 21 weeks - if you are having no symptoms this could be normal for you - if you are having contractions or bleeding your doctor may want to put a small thread in your cervix to prevent dilation or he may keep you on bed rest to see if the situation improves. Discuss this with your OB or Midwife.
How do you know when the baby has dropped or lightened?
