| your cervix is what effaces, it means how thin it is, like if its normally 4 inches 50% effaced would be 2 inches and fully effaced means that there is no cervix left really
there are 3 things they can check for effacement (thinning), dialation (widening), and station (how far down the babys head is) im suprised they are giving you exams, most of the time they dont do exams until your in labor ~alicia~ |
Oh thankyou very much for explaining this to me.
Yeah I'm suprized myself that they keep doing exams on me, I found that odd but since this is my first I don't really know what to expect! I just hope my girl pops out soon.
