I’m seeing a mid wife rather than a doc, and they dont check that beacuse its just another exam that has a chance to cause an infection and it dosent mean that you will be going it to labor any time soon

I was dilated to 1cm at 36 weeks and was in labor and didn’t even know it. LOL. But yes labor is usually much quicker with the second baby and gets shorter with having more babies. Your body has had to do it before, so now it knows what to do and what to expect. The first pregnancy and labor/delivery is kind of like a practice run and after you’ve done it once it only gets easier every time you have to do it.

With my baby my contractions started after the second time they gave me the inducing gel – she really really didn’t want to come out! In fact even after the contractions started AND they broke my water I still didn’t dilated! It wasn’t until the epidural and the stronger drugs that made me dilated.
Yeah, she was fun!

When I was 36 weeks, I dilated to a 1-2 and my baby had already dropped immensely. It was my first pregnancy.

With my first pregnancy I was first checked at 36 weeks, no dialation. 37-39 weeks 1 cm. I was induced at 39 weeks bc of high blood pressure. With my 2nd pregnancy I was checked at 36 weeks, 1 cm dialated. 37-38 weeks I was 2 cm. I was induced at 38 weeks bc of high blood pressure. I’m not 26 wks pregnant with our 3rd baby and very curious to see how it turns out!

I started to dilate at 37 weeks with my second pregnancy, not sure how it was with my first since it was 6 years ago.
