The baby will be here by the time you and everyone else reads this answer!
There is no way to accurately predict when you will have your baby
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.
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.
Any moment now.
Your cervix must dilate (open up) to 10 centimeters before you can essentially, 'push' the baby out. So half a cm is good progress, though it seems a bit early at 29 weeks? 75% effaced: you have to be 100% effaced (thinned out) for the cervix to fully dilate & ready to deliver the baby. So you're just about finished there.
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.
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
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 can drop in labor. It is always not easy to distinguish when the baby drops. I have had 3 children and never knew when they dropped I only knew when labor kicked in.
If the cervix is 100% effaced and one centimeter dilated, it means that the cervix is completely thinned out but dilation is not that much. The baby will come when he is ready, but some women walk or have sex in an attempt to bring on labor.
You could go into labout tomorrow or you may have to wait 3-4 weeks, there is no way of telling.
