My baby girl was headdown at my appointment they took a swab for me and I told her to check and see if im dilated at tool she didnt use her fingers she used a speculum but she said its closed so my baby girl is in a ready position its just her choice when she choose to come in to the world and meet her mommy and daddy and the rest of the family :-)

Well I know when I was in the hospital my cervix was only 3cm long & its suppose to be 4cm long

-1 is the position of the baby. You start at -3 and go from there to 0. When you're at 0 then your baby starts to move further into the cervix to position +3 which is when baby is engaged and ready. Those numbers are for the baby's position to move into the cervix. Then there's dilation which you go from 0-10 and at 10 is delivery! :)

Maybe she meant that your cervix was still thick.
