I am 3 cm dilated 75 percent effaced -1 on baby's head positioning (Crowning is -5) Does anyone know?

Question

I have had contractions that are 2 to 3 min apart for hours and stop. I am losing brown mucous. I have the most horrible pain in my pelvic area and it is getting hard for me to even walk. I have swelling in legs and feet and a purple color to them most of the time. I was in with the doc yesterday and today, and he says its from pressure. Anyone know how long it might take for my labor to begin with what info I have given? Please help, miserable.

Answer 1

I can't say when your baby will be born but I can say that your in early labor.  It can take 2 weeks to get past this phase or it can take 2 hours.  If your dilating and effacing then try some methods of inducing labor, (castor oil YUCK!, s*x, walking, ect)
