My docotor said that I was one finger internally and a finger tip externally dilated. Does anyone know what that means?? Thanks in advance. ↓

How far along are you, Casey? I go next week for my 36 week check-up and they're going to check me to see if I'm dilated. I hope I am. I think you are probably about 1 cm dilated maybe... I don't know, they didn't tell you a number? ↑

Probably like a 1cm to a 2cm. ↑

i would guess 1 cm too. a lot of Drs measure by the finger widths and then hand width during labor. next time ask the cm and ask the effacement.  ↑
