36 weeks pregnant and need info.?

Question

Iam 36 wks pregnant (due Sept. 16). At the doctor today he told me I was dilated a finger tip, does this mean the baby can come at any time or will it still be around the due date. This is my fourth child and all of the other came a day before there due date. If anybody has any information it will be appreciated.

Answer 1

it depends because everyones body is different you  never  know you might have the baby around  the due date but  never know you probably will haver the baby a little early.

Answer 2

u were lucky (with the first 3)... my daughter was a week late.  i was dilated 2 cm a week before my due date.  i asked the doctor the same thing she told me you could stay like that forever...lol.  not funny-huh?  yeah i didn't think so either... 2 weeks later my water broke.  it could be a while!  sorry... but good luck

Answer 3

all i can tell you is what has happened with me so far. I'm 39 weeks and 3cm. about a month ago i was 1/2 a cm (I'm guessing that would be a fingertip). ive heard that labor gets shorter with every child but who knows for sure? everyone is different. good luck and i hope you arent too uncomfortable for too much longer.

Answer 5

It is possible for your baby to come at any time but if it takes a long time for you to dilate the baby could still come around the expected due date. Best of luck to you hope you have a happy healthy SEPTEMBER baby. (I'm due Sep. 26)
