I had my first internal check this morning. After my pregnancy with Liam, where I remained “high, tight, and closed” through my 40 week appointment and was only a 1/2 centimeter (if that — the nurse said she was being generous) dilated even after my water broke, today’s numbers were encouraging. I know that there are lucky people who walk around dilated to 5 centimeters for weeks at a time, but for me, this was a real coup.
Stats:
Dilation: 1 centimeter
Effacement: 50%
Position:Â Head down and -3 station
Fingers crossed that my body figures out how to do this on its own this time!
Hoping all goes well and that your body does figure it out…I have faith it will!! Can’t wait to meet baby girl!
Thanks! I’m keeping all my fingers (and toes) crossed!
Come on down, baby girl. We are all excitedly waiting to see you soon.
You’re almost there! Hope everything goes well and is easier than the last time around!
Thanks, Laurel! It can’t be as bad as last time, right…? Fingers crossed.
