Cervix Dilating? Posted: 10-29-06 15:51pm


I'm having cramps similar to period pains, and I read that it can be caused by your cervix dilating. I know you can be dilated to like 2cm for weeks before labour, but should I be concerned at all? I've felt "off" all night.. And I dunno why.. I can't get comfortable, I keep getting these pains, and I have gas which is probably contributing to the pain! I love these last few weeks..

I've been having cramps similar to period cramps for over a month now. Some days are worse than others. My doctor said that it's my cervix effacing. I've been 1 cm. Dilated for over 5 weeks. It's so aggravating.

I'm 35 weeks.. My first concerns were of preterm labour, but if it's normal then I don't wanna go to hospital on a sunday night just to be told to stop wasting their time. I'm going in to be monitored tomorrow, because my amniotic fluid level is low.. If the pains get worse tonight or I start getting contractions i'll go to .A & .E, but otherwise i'll just mention it to the midwife tomorrow.
