Ok thanks guys. My doctor said I have to make it to 36 weeks or baby Is considered high risk even though he's big.
I'm 38w2d and have been dialated to 2 cm for 3 weeks. It's completely normal!
The cramps after being checked are normal. My sister was 5 cm with both her babies before she ever went into labor. The way I look at it is the more dilated you are beforehand, the less work you have in labor!
Ok great. I've been having menstrual like cramps ever since she checked.... I'm hoping that's normal too.
I was dilated 1.5 cm at 34 weeks with my first and went to 39 weeks without any issues.
