Starting to Dilate

Anyone starting to dilate?? I had my 36 week check up today and baby is head down/ low and i’m at about 2 cm. I know that doesn’t mean anything but this is my second baby and I definitely wasn’t dilated any at 36 weeks. I’m probably going to have a September baby!

It's normal for your body to dialate and efface faster after your first cuz your body already knows what to do or so I was told I was 70% effaced at 34w and OB told me to slow down 😅 She didn't check for dialation cuz she said that didn't really matter but she also said baby can come at any time now... Which I mean I think that goes for everyone here 😅 I think I get what you mean though, I'm excited and thinking he might come early like his sister but who knows 😅🤔

@Favi were you at 70% effaced in your first pregnancy or this pregnancy? 😱

I was dilated to a 1cm and 80% effaced at 36w with my first pregnancy and she stayed there until I was induced at 39w4d with no Braxton hicks or anything

I started dilating with my first before 36 weeks, was at 4cm by 39 weeks. She was 2 days past her due date 😂

@Tiffany No I actually had to be given cytotec to help with that cuz my water broke, I was dialating but not effecting at all! I think that's why she told me to be extra careful and just not lift anything heavy... Tell that to my toddler 😬

Did you lose your mucus plug yet? I’m 36 + 4 with my first and lost my mucus plug this past weekend my OB said I might be dilated but didn’t get checked

@Cameron not yet! i honestly don’t even want to be dilated any right now 😭 i need baby to stay in as long as she wants. but it seems like she wants to start making her grand entrance
