36 weeks, 75% efaced, dilated to a 3.

I'm 36 weeks pregnant, 75 percent efaced, and dilated to a 3.. what's my chances of him coming soon?

[lenzinicole]

Another problem I'm having is feeling my contractions.  I was hooked up Saturday and they came in with pain meds and told me after monitoring my contractions they were giving me something to ease my pain... But I didn't feel miserable. The only thing killing me was my lower left back... Any ideas?

[lenzinicole]

Thanks ya'll! Helps a lot. I'm not rushing him, but will definitely be walking more once he hits full term. I'm miserable.

I was at 3 cm at 33 weeks and had my first daught a week before her due date (induced). My dic said I was already having contractions when I went in but couldn't feel them. He said it would have only been a day or so until I went on my own

Our childbirth educator was dilated to 4 cm for 2 weeks before having her son. It definitely is your body prepping for delivery, but may still be a few weeks. Then again, it may be very soon! Just make sure you've got everything ready in case it does happen sooner than later!

Not necessarily. Many women walk walk around dilated for weeks. Its still really early for you... so don't be in too much of a rush!!

its a good sign that your body is preparing for baby but there is no way of really know how much longer you have till labour begins... some woman can stay at a certain point for weeks... but at least you are already taht far when it does kick in! Congrats and good luck!

[lenzinicole]

Yeah, sorry figured ya'll would know that :/ I've been this far since Saturday.

I was 36 weeks when I had my son, he was my first. I was 3 cm when I went to the hospital and I had him an hour later. I also walked around a lot and that helped him come down. Good luck and congrats!

Do you mean 3cm?
