I'm 36w2d and last Friday at my appt I was 35w3d and 1cm dilated, I've been waddling ever since 32w. I'm pretty sure I'm dilated more because my cervix has kinda been popping and there's a hole lot more pressure and every so often I feel pinching like sensations down there. I read that if in the last 4 weeks or so you have period like cramps and you're dilated to like 1 or 2 you're starting to dilate more.
I'm only 1 cm at 37 weeks. I feel lightening when I walk. It's like I'm getting stabbed between my legs
I want to know too. I'm getting light contractions so far as well. I'm 35 weeks. Call your doctor ask, there should be a off hours number. Tell her the symptoms you have
