Answer 1

My little guy actually "dropped" at 26 weeks. at 38 weeks pregnant I was 2cm dilated and 50% effaced. I didnt have him until 8 days after my due date. lol hubby and i were trying EVERYTHING to get him here. Just let your body go as long as its safe to. Im glad I did. my labor was only 9 hours long, I pushed for 15 minutes and didnt tear or get an episiotomy. it was the best.  

Answer 2

I dilated to a 5 at 35 weeks and my doctor induced because he was sure I was going to have him anyways. It didn't work. I had him at 37 1/2 weeks when I went back. I was still at a 5 but he said I wasn't going home till I had him. About 13 hours later I had him. Sounds horrible but I wasn't in pain.

Answer 3

Yeah you are low :-) Congrats should be very soon.  Most of the woman in my family seem to deliver before their due date and I know with my first pregnancy they could tell I dropped before I could but now I am on my third pregnancy so when i dropped i knew it.  

Answer 4

within 24 hours of being checked

Answer 5

of course if you arent used to giving birth you think everything is wrong that is perfectly normal

Answer 6

Honestly, u never know ! My first pregnancy I was 3 cm at 33 weeks and still had my baby the day before my due date. I don't know what you doctor is talking about because I know alot of girls who were 2-4 cm for weeks during there first pregnancies. I hope you have your baby soon though! I just had my second baby last month so I know what your going through =( the last few weeks SUCK! good luck!!!

Answer 7

With the first I was 1 forever and had to be induced. With 2 I was 2 forever and had to be induced.You are very low if I were to bet I would say you will deliver on your due date. Stay positive you are very close!
