About Roni CNA Expertise I can answer MANY pregnancy questions.
Experience I was an expert in the Ask Jeeves area of pregnacy. (this has since been canceled.
I had a rough pregnacy my self. I had toxmeia and an emergency c/s. My incision had to be re-opened and packed.
I have read about all there is to read on pregnacy and birth. Feel I can be very helpful.
I am also a Certified Nursing Assistant.
Question I am 40 wks and 2 days pregnant with my first child, and I keep reading that you are supposed to start dilating a week or 2 before you go into labor in first pregnancies. On my last dr appt (friday) she checked my cervix and said ti was still closed but had shortened a bit. My question is why haven't I started dilating yet? I'm 2 days overdue and still not feeling any major signs of labor starting anytime soon, is this normal for a first pregnancy?
Answer This could be normal, it could be a sign that you won't dilate (doubt that)
I know it is hard to wait, but you will simply have to. Your due date may be off, that happens sometimes as well.
Rest assured no one has been pregnant forever even if it feels like it.
Good luck, rest up! The rest of your life is going to be much different and alot more droggy!
