I'd follow the doctor's advice. It doesn't pay to take chances.

You can start effacing anytime after 32 weeks, I was put on bedrest and I followed through with it except I have a 17 month old and I couldnt deny her needs but I took it easy.....

Did they say how much you dilated??? Its okat to drop after 32 weeks its a form of prelabor that could last for weeks im 34 wks and baby has dropped and im 1 cm dilated(my last appt was dec 13.) do what you think is best I dont see why there is any concern for effacing I can understand if you had incompetent cervix but that a whole different ball game just dont overdo yourself and try to take it easy make it an excuse to get your spouse to roll over backwards for you lol!!!

Take care

i would try and take it easy as much as you can. I know how it is to be stir crazy---i have taken this whole pregnancy "off" for it is high risk and without medical care atleast I can have some sense enough to take it easy, even if they dont?? Right? I am 26.3 weeks today. Only 4 weeks behind ya!!!
