37 Weeks & 5 Days Posted: 08-29-07 11:04am
I went to my weekly dr. appt today and was
hoping for some good news. I didnt get the
news I wanted. I am dialated 2 cm. Is that
good? I mean, I really thought I would be
more. Ive been really active and have been
having a lot of contractions at night. I
am soooo tired of being prego. What else
can I do besides swimming, walking, sex to
speed this thing along?

That sounds good to me. Usually once your
labor really gets kickstarted it will go a
lot faster. 2 cm means you're definitely
progressing though.

chiropractor .. i swear thats what broke
my water. but remember your due date
could be off...i was 3 days shy of 40
weeks when i delivered but they said she
looked to be 38 weeks gestation so it's
good she didnt come any earlier

I know everybody and every pregnancy is
different but my friend was 2 cm dialated
and she had her baby 2 days later But it was opposite
for me I was dialated to 1cm when I was 38
weeks and nothing happend they had to
induce me at 41weeks..that sucked...lol
But I hope things have progressed for
you.. And you have your baby soon.. Good
Luck and keep us posted

Well Im hoping this will speed along. Ive
been staying really busy and active. Im 38
weeks today, go back to the Dr. Wednesday.
Hopefully Ill go into labor b4 then
though. But, I was thinking and when I
found out I was prego. at my first Dr.
appt my due date was the 5th of sept. then
when they did the ultrasound they moved it
to the 14th. Could there be a possibility
they are wrong or off a little??
But it was opposite
for me I was dialated to 1cm when I was 38
weeks and nothing happend they had to
induce me at 41weeks..that sucked...lol
But I hope things have progressed for
you.. And you have your baby soon.. Good
Luck and keep us posted
