If you're 40% effaced but not yet dilated with your fourth baby, it indicates that your body is preparing for labor, though you're not quite there yet. Effacement means the cervix is thinning, which can happen in the weeks leading up to delivery, especially in subsequent pregnancies. It's common for women to experience different labor patterns with each child, so stay in touch with your healthcare provider about any changes or concerns. Keep monitoring your symptoms, and prepare for the possibility that labor could start soon.
The baby probably isn't ready yet. Where I went to the hospital if you were 5cm dialated they would keep you and induce labor. you can be zero dilated and be in labor. As soon as your muscles start contracting you are in labor and have pains.
you have your baby when you are ten centimeters dialated so your nearly 2 depending on how quick your contractions come you could have hours yet ....
if you are 3 weeks pregnant, and your effaced 90% i'd say that you need to go get that checked out? 3 weeks prego means you have ur entire 9 months left to go!! if you go into labor soon, you probably wont be delivering a fullterm healthy baby
By the time you have read this I bet you have delivered your baby, you probably had it within 2 hours of writing the question. --------------- I am 40 weeks, 5 cm dilated and 75% effaced - have been since last Friday (it's now Monday). I say that your baby will come when he/she is good and ready, and not a moment earlier. I know it can be frustrating, but your child knows when he is supposed to great the world. If your doctor thinks that anything is wrong, they will likely induce you between 41-42 weeks. I recomend you try to just have your water broken first, and if that doesn't get things moving go on to pitocin or some such Intravenous (IV) inducer. Good luck my dear!
Im 36wks and 3cm dialated but my cervix is not softened yet there is no sure way to get labor started your baby will come wgen it's good and ready!!
No. I have been dilated to 3 cm for over a week now. I was at 4 cm when I was induced with my first. My doctor said that one lady came in dilated to 10 cm (that's completely dilated) and was not in labor yet. She had to be induced.
im the same way except for im three days past due and was on Tuesday 1 cm 75% effaced and had contractions on Thursday at 3 am till 345..so i know what you mean
If this is 1st pregnancy, you have awhile yet. If not your first, almost.
