1 cm dilated

[terna]

who is 32 weeks and already 1cm dilated? cuz I am nd im type scared.

[terna]

ok that's the same thing my doc said. just no sex. nd I'm keeping it that way, I'm too scary!!!

Dr basically just told me continue as i was unless my contractions got bad

[jerica86]

Nothing really. I've still been having sex and working and everything. Dr said it was normal for me because it's my third and I started preterm labor with all of them

with my second pregnancy, I was 28 weeks when the  doctor checked me and said I was dilated 1 cm.... I stayed that way, then had to be induced at 40 weeks...so don't worry, if you are dilated it doesn't necessarily mean that you are going to have early labor

thank you.

what have you been doing to prevent your dilations?

[jerica86]

I've been a 1 since 28 weeks and now almost 36 weeks

Then I'm guessing that it should be okay. They probably just don't want you doing things that can cause contractions. I have a friend who was 1cm dilated at 37 weeks and didn't have her baby until almost 41 weeks. Good luck! :)

they said ii can do the same things. just no sex nd light duty at work.

I don't get checked until I'm in labor, so I'm not sure if I'm dilated at all. But did the doctor who checked you give you any instructions on what to do to keep baby in at least for 5 weeks?
