I am 37+4 pregnant... Last Monday my doctor checked my cervix for the first time and said I was 1 1/2 dilated and 80% effaced, and no station yet, baby's head was down, but not enough for a station... Then on Saturday I was having contractions 5 minutes apart, went to LDR, they checked me and I was 3cm dilated, 80% effaced, and -2 station... I was there for 3 hours, my contractions grew more intense and to 2-3 minutes apart, but they sent me home because after checking me 3 times I had made no progress while there. So they said false alarm... I've still been having contractions but not too horribly... I had another doctor's appointment today, but he didn't check me since I had been at the hospital the other day. But I was wondering... At my 36+4 appt like I said I was 1 1/2 and 80%... is going from that to a 3 and 80% and -2 station good progress in 5 days? Any one I've told in excitement told me that it was no big deal and to stop getting excited cause nothing is gonna happen. =(
