4 days from our due date?

Question

my wife and i are 4 days from our due date and shes only 1cm dilated and her cervix is 80% dissolved is this normal

Answer 1

yes. i was 2cms for 5 weeks and 4 days from my due date i closed back up

Answer 2

Yes it's normal my son didn't want to come out either but don't worry because soon the doctor might give you a option to induce the labor which will help speed up the process...good luck

Answer 3

there really is no normal. you can be dilated for weeks.. or like me.. overdue and not dilated at all.  

Answer 4

it sounds good at least she is dilated and her cervix is effaced which is good she should go in on schedule congrats

Answer 5

Yep, I was still 1cm dilated at 41 wks. If this is her first child she probably won't have her on or before her due date.  

Answer 6

yes very normal

Answer 7

Yep, that's actually not bad.  4 days from my due date, I was nothing and nothing.  I went until 42.5 weeks.

That's a good sign, but if it's her first, statistically she is likely to go over her due date by four days (That's the average.).

I plan on going late and then you won't be too anxious if she goes over.
