pregnancy question
Hi, first post and I have a quick question. My wife just went to the doctor this morning and I have no Idea what she is talking about....we'll actually I think we are both a little lost. She is into her 34th week with our first child. The doctor said she was 1 cent. and 80% effaced....I need help with this. She said the doctor looked a little surprised by this. Does that mean It will probably come early? If so isint 34 weeks really early? Thanks for any help you can give on this :)
A baby is considered to be full term when it is born anytime after it reaches 37 weeks of gestation. Even if your wife delivers before that the baby should be fine. I was dilated to 3 cm for 3 weeks before my second was born.
My niece was born 10 weeks early and is doing great! If the doctors aren't concerned than you shouldn't worry. If there was a problem they would take care of it. :-) Congratulations!
Yeah im sure I'll get more info tonight. She just called from doctor and had to run so was just trying to get whatever info i could get before then. And yes 1 centermeter dialated.
