Have sex it Will bring out the contravtions. to dilate
This is a little confusing, 4cm means you should be in the active phase of labor. At 4cm dilation, it should be only 4-6 hours before delivery if progression is normal, any longer would be considered prolonged. Has your water broken yet? You could give birth any time now.
that's what I thought. I thought 4 cm was active labor. from experience with my others. she just sent me home and told me to get ready. Water has not broken yet.
I was going to try having sex but I've been cramping and I should at least enjoy it
Haha, sure. Are you planning to give birth at home? At 4+ cm you might as well head to the hospital now if you were planning to give birth there.
oh I am not doing it at home I have three small children they would be terrified if they heard anything. I have been thinking about heading to the hospital now but my bf thinks he has a phd and won't leace ubtil my contractions are at his timing. kinda need to start getting contractions
4 cm does not mean you are in active labor. Its the contractions being regular, and you activly dialating that means your in labor. I was 5 cm for almost 2 weeks with my second. I was not in active labor. I had a perfectly good hospital birth when I finally did go into labor.
