dilated to a 2????

I'm dilated at a 2 an I'm 36 weeks 2days. An when I got checked at 34 weeks I was a zero. It's kinda fast to go from a zero to a 2 in 2 weeks. Thus is my 4th baby I have 2 beautiful daughter's 10 an 5 an my handsome lil man is 21 months. I'm super excited to meet my baby but I want him to stay in a lil while longer. I want him to be healthy an be able to breathe on his own. I am high risk due to short cervix an a lil to much amniotic fluid around the baby. Dr has mentioned he may induce me early around 38 weeks. I'm nervous that my lil guy won't be ready. Anyone  had there baby's a lil early an everything be ok?

My niece just had her baby at 36 weeks and he was born super healthy. He's the cutest chunkiest thing ever. He didn't even have to stay in the nicu, came out of the hospital when she did. It'll be fine stay positive. Try to rest so he can stay in there the most possible

Im sure your baby will do great at 38 weeks. My cousin had her baby c section at exactly 38 weeks and her baby was 100% healthy. I just had a friend that had her baby at 36 weeks and aside from being small, baby was completely healthy.  I'm 36 weeks with my second and already dialated to 3 and am 60% effaced. Dr said babies head is right there and I hardly have any cervix left. So I completely know how you feel about worrying baby will come early. But everything will be just fine :)

I'm still having contractions that are pretty regular. But my dr said not to worry yet. He said if I dilated anymore that he start me on the steroid shots just in case but I'll be 37 weeks Tues so that's a plus

I was 2 cm at 34 weeks until the day my son was born two days after his due date. Try and not to stress out to much. You could be 2 cm  for awhile.

You don't have to get induced if it's not medically necessary.
