Sending hugs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-cervix#post-2175130 Tue, 12 May 2015 07:29:31 +0000 78h2o 2175130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Swelling makes sense. Sooooo frustrating. I'm sorry you have gone through all that! I'm sure the worst part is mental/emotional...and of course, hormones don't help with that! I hope your BP stays under control and baby cooks a little longer, then joins you via an easy delivery! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-cervix#post-2175119 Tue, 12 May 2015 07:19:33 +0000 Mrs squirreld 2175119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: that wouldn't surprise me with the amount my cervix has been poked and prodded. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-cervix#post-2175114 Tue, 12 May 2015 07:11:23 +0000 blackbird 2175114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had friends go backwards while dilating during labor-I was under the impression theirs was due to swelling? I don't know, just wondering if that's what could be happening. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/questions-about-cervix#post-2175109 Tue, 12 May 2015 07:07:25 +0000 Mrs squirreld 2175109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone know if your cervix can dilate and then reclose? Or is it dr/midwife error? Can something cause your cervix to close? Yesterday I went in for an induction and the first midwife said she could get 2 fingers in my cervix and stretch it. This morning after 16 hours of cervidil the doctor said my cervix was closed. Is this possible? Was the first midwife wrong? I wish I had asked at the time but I was so upset at the time after 3 failed induction I didnt think of all these questions. </p>
