It was her 5th kid, though, so we kept joking that babe was just going to fall out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/36-weeks-3-days-4cm-dilated#post-947344 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 20:05:44 +0000 Bao 947344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was 3cm at 36 weeks then went into labor at 39 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/36-weeks-3-days-4cm-dilated#post-947339 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 20:04:03 +0000 chopsuey 947339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ZombieBullfrogHoller: I had DS in 4 hours (from start to baby)!

It made for a quick and relatively easy labor for me :)</p> <p>I would definitely try and get the stuff done you want done cause you never know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/36-weeks-3-days-4cm-dilated#post-947299 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 19:43:45 +0000 ZombieBullfrogHoller 947299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooh, that gives me hope! Everytime I start having contractions I panic and think "Oh shit, here we go!" Then they stop and I think of all the laundry that needs doing. XD</p> <p>I was fine last week because the doctor was like, "Ooh, you could be 2cm dilated for weeeeeeks - doesn't mean a thing." But this week this doctor was like, "Well since this is your first pregnancy and you're progressing so quickly, it could be pretttty soon!" And I just sat there like O____O and he was like "...uh, yeah, congrats?" And I'm still O_____O</p> <p>Oy. I've had people say to me, "Well, at least when you do go into labor, you're already part of the way there!" and that the getting to 4cm was the longest part of their labor, so maybe I'll progress quicker. Did you find that to be true? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/36-weeks-3-days-4cm-dilated#post-947289 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 19:40:39 +0000 runsyellowlites 947289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would get your loose ends tied but generally pre-labor progress is NOT determinant of when labor when start or how labor will progress, at all. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/36-weeks-3-days-4cm-dilated#post-947281 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 19:37:50 +0000 chopsuey 947281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would get everything ready just in case! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/36-weeks-3-days-4cm-dilated#post-947280 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 19:37:19 +0000 chopsuey 947280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was 3 cm 75% effaced at 36 weeks! I stayed at 3-4 cm 90% effaced until I gave birth at 39weeks4days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/36-weeks-3-days-4cm-dilated#post-947277 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 19:36:15 +0000 ZombieBullfrogHoller 947277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, at my appointment last week (which, because of crazy insurance reasons, was my first appointment since like June 1st - egads) the doctor told me I was 2 cm dilated and 50% effaced. Yesterday I went in for my appointment and was told I was 3-4cm dilated. </p> <p>Now I'm panicking! haha. I don't have nearly everything done that I need to get done. And I'm sooo miserable with this heatwave. I'm absolutely useless. And mean. My poor, poor husband D:</p> <p>Is it common to be dilated this much before going into labor? If anyone was, how much longer until you did go into labor? I wish I knew how much more time I had - I think that's the worst part :P </p>
