No cervical change why ?

[jassthomas]

I am 35 weeks today, almost there ! Well my doctor checked my cervix & I am not dilated nor effaced at all. I get my membrances sweep in 2 weeks but again that doesnt really mean a thing. Does that mean I will go over my due date? I really hope I do not.

Every pregnancy is different and you are still very early. I would call your ob with your concerns since this is usual for you

Thank you

Some women do not have changes early on.  And it can happen all of a sudden.  I was 1 cm for over 4 weeks and then went into labor and went the rest of the way in a day.  My baby was 10 days late though.  So, try not to worry about this.  You may go over your 40 weeks but that is very common especially if it is your first pregnancy.  good luck

Well this is my 4th child but  normally I would already be dilated right now so I guess that's the only reason why I'm concerned

[specialmom]

oh.  4th child.  Okay. So, this is odd for you.  Is there any way your due date is off?  

[jassthomas]

Its funny that you say that because my doctor said he is actually measuring a week ahead lol so me & my husband are really like what the heck is going on...but I have been on bed rest due to problems with my health do you think thats what could be slowing dilation down ?
