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?

That's a lil strange but you are prob i cm no matter what its one finger whether its fingertip or not-you're looking for width anyway not how far in he can get just wide so u would be 1

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.
