I would suggest walking and lots of it. If possible up and down a stairs it has worked for a few friends of mine. Hopefully it will work for you. An old wives tale is to scrub the kitchen floor. I don't suggest you actually do it but crawling on all fours might help. You have probably had the baby by now but this answer might be useful for someone else.
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
yes you can still do that.
There is no way to accurately predict when you will have your baby
Any moment now.
50% is out of 100% which means your cervix is paper thin. Once your cervix is dialated to 10cm & your 100% effaced baby is ready to be born. How long it could be in this position, depends on your body.
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.
Being 95 percent effaced indicates that your cervix is nearly fully prepared for labor, while being 2 centimeters dilated means you're in the early stages of labor. Braxton Hicks contractions, often referred to as practice contractions, can occur in the weeks leading up to labor, but they don't signify that labor is imminent. While these signs suggest that your body is gearing up for delivery, it's important to monitor for more definitive signs of labor, such as regular contractions or your water breaking. Always consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
When a woman is 100 percent effaced, it means the cervix has fully thinned out in preparation for labor. However, the onset of real contractions can vary significantly from person to person. For some, contractions may start almost immediately, while for others, it could take several hours or even days before active labor begins. Monitoring for contractions and consulting with a healthcare provider is essential during this stage.
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.
Try walking. Not sure if it will work or not. That's what I have always heard
happy birthday mommy, less than a week
The baby will be here by the time you and everyone else reads this answer!
