Im due tomorrow how like is it that i...?

Question

alright im due tomorrow, and at my appointment wednesday i was 4cm dilated, is there a good chance of me going on my due date? i've been getting cramps for the last 2 hours & thats what my contraction are just bad period like cramps.

Answer 1

I know that my Doctor won't admit you unless you are dilated and in active labor.  So unfortunately they send you home til the real contractions start.  I hope you go into labor soon.  I was only dilated to 1cm on my last appt. and I am now 3 days past my edd.

Answer 2

I haven't been in labor before...but I would think labor would start soon. Some women are in labor and don't know it. I have looked up all sorts of stuff on labor, when people knew and what not and there were a few women who had no idea they were in labor till the baby came out. They couldn't feel the contractions. Or some people went to the Dr.s and found out they were in labor...and didn't know it either. I am not saying that is the case with you...but they say 4 CM is "active labor" but I could be wrong. I did read that somewhere the other day. I also heard the contractions can feel like period cramps. If the hospital is close. Just go to labor and delivery and have them hook you up real fast and see if you are in labor. Thats what I would do. Good luck  

Answer 3

its not necessary that a doctor would send you in just because you are 4cm, i take it your waters haven't gone? if they had of then you would be in a lot more pain. my first labour pains were like period pains. just try and have a sleep now as you will get very tired later on when the contractions come stronger and makes them harder to deal with and don't forget there are plenty of pain relief to be offered.i had everything you could get and the epidural was the best .when you arrive at hospital don't be scared for anything i had alot of problems with my labour and had to have a section, i stayed awake with this it was a great experience even tho i was SO scared! just remember that after all this your going to have a wonderful baby to look after and that brings SO much happiness.wishing you all the best of luck xx  

Answer 4

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh so exciting!!!!!!!!!!!

i gave birth a month ago, and thinking about it makes me so happy. it was one of the best moments of my life.

lucky you, !! the joy u will feel when seeing your ``so waited ``baby for the first time.

i think that either u will go tonight, or they will keep u at the hospital tomorrow.

make sure everything is ready : your bags, your wallet ( ID cards),...

and try to sleep tonight,

giving birth takes alot of energy pushing... so rest the most u can. even if  u r anxious.

pray and ask God to be with you. don't get nervous for nothing.

enjoy every moment

Answer 5

you may go in tonight honey...forget a due date...a due date is just guesstimated anyway. I am also wondering why at 4 cm they haven't put you in the hospital.

Answer 6

Wow you are lucky you are dilated to a 4 already.  Sounds like to me you will be having your baby very soon.  The cramps you feel maybe the start of contractions.  I never had any pain other than extreme back pain with my 1st pregnancy.  Everyone's labor is different.  

Answer 7

I am due in January .. Good Luck !  

Answer 8

I was dilated to 4 for three weeks with my third, it was very frustrating to wake up everyday thinking "this is the day" then starting all over again the next.  Hang in there that baby will come when its ready.  Get as much sleep as you can cause pretty soon that will be a memory!

Answer 9

wow good luck maybe so  

Answer 10

Well thats pretty odd! Wednesday was 2 days ago, and you were 4cm then? They probably should have admitted you to the hospital. I'd say you are going to be giving birth to him/her anytime today/tonight. Like others have said, just go for a power walk or s*x. Try not to strain yourself though, obviously. Good luck with everything!!

Answer 11

you might go tonight but what you need to do is go and power walk and walk through the contraction when you start hurting cause right now you are in active labor that is what you need to do or you can have s*x that will get yu going.
