Hi All,
I am 35 weeks (possibly 37 wks since due date was changed) and have horrible pain in the pubic bone area that's making even walking very difficult. I went to the doctor today and she said I am 79% effaced and 1 cm dialated. Any ideas how much longer this means I could have?
Thanks! ↓
There is no way to know really. You're making progress but it could be tonight, it could be 3 weeks, it could be 5 weeks. I wish I could tell you more but really there is no way to know. ↑
What your feeling is your muscle's being stretched thats what i was told and really it's hard too say how long you have i've been 5cm dialated for a week now and still nothing this is my 4th boy and i am just about 39 wks so you can go any-time or go past your due date.Sucks not knowing hey? Good luck ↑
yeah it sucks because your thinking you could go any day since your dilating and effaced but unfortunately that's not how it works. I was 3cm and 80% effaced for about a month to a month and a half. But once you hit 36 weeks, you can pretty much pop any day ↑
It could be anytime or a couple weeks from now. I know how you feel with the pubic bone pain. I was barely able to walk for the last 3 weeks of my pregnancy, it was extremely painful at night when I had to turn over every half hour too. Don't worry it'll get better pretty much immediatly after you have the baby and the pressure is off. ↑
well, if you're 37 weeks then you would be considered right at full term. A normal pregnancy is 37-42 weeks, and for some women these symptoms last for a few weeks before labor. Just pay attention to your body-but don't obsess over it. Could be any day now-or any week. ↑
