Dilated (spelling correction) is a word describing when a pupil (the black part in your eye's center) becomes larger than normal. This happens as a result of some medications and is a symptom of a concussion. Opthamologists (eye doctors) will use a certain kind of eyedrops to induce dilation to test if the eye is functioning properly.

During 20th week of pregnancy cervix is softening but is still long and thick on ultrasound Is this necessarily a bad sign?

No, it is not necessarily bad. As long as it is long and thick, that's very good. Your cervix will change daily during pregnancy and can take months to thin down enough to start dialating.


Why do his eyes get bigger when he gazes me in the eyes?

There are two potential reasons this may seem so: First, as you stare into his eyes your focus becomes sharper and more direct. It only appears that his eyes grow larger as your attention to them becomes keener. Second, when you have intimate feelings for someone, even a general attraction, your pupils react by dialating (becoming larger). This can add to the apparent enlarging of his eyes.


Im 36 weeks and 1 cm dilated my doctor thinks ill go into labor within the next 2weeks if that. how accurate can she be about that you have also already had preterm labor but they stopped it?

eeh.. my doctor said the same thing when i was pregnant with my daughter. I went into preterm at 26 weeks,they stopped it, then at 36 weeks i started dialating. i was 50% and 1 cm.but i stayed that way from 36 weeks to 41.1 weeks.good luck :O)


When does your cervix open during pregnancy?

id really depends. when the cervix opens, it is called dialating. for example, i was due April 19th. however, march 29th i was dialated to 3 cm. in my case, i had my baby that day because he was "frank breech" so they are to do a c-section. but some girls go weeks being 1-3 cm dialated, it just depends, and usually happens the closer you approach your due date :) hope this was helpful!


Does it mean the baby is coming really soon if you are at 36.5 weeks with your third child and your cervix has softened and the baby has dropped?

If it is your first baby this is about what you would expect, the baby will come when it is ready. 2/6/2008: I'm sure since you have already had 2 children that you are aware of what your body is telling you and are just anxious about the baby coming "early"... perhaps you are looking for some reassurance from other mothers, but be assured that anytime after 36 weeks, the baby could come and the important parts of baby's development are completed... but also know that your body can begin readying for baby's arrival WEEKS in advance of the actual birth date! I began dialating, softening and effacing at least three weeks before my son actually arrived! He ended up being 5 days late! You just don't know what will happen! That's why they call it "the miracle of birth"! Even your due date is really just a "guess" the doctor makes because the conception process is so mysterious and hard to pinpoint. Like the previous poster said, "baby will come when it is ready". That's so true! But be prepared that you may still have weeks ahead of you of waiting!
