Something is happening! - effacement

Anyhow, does anyone know what that could mean? I went to 41 weeks with Wil with about NO effacement and maybe a 1 dillation. So I'm not used to this! Could it mean I may go early? Or could I stay like this for many more weeks? Just wondering if effacement really is no big deal. Doc didn't really say much except that she wants to see me weekly from now on.

Something is happening though!

A&A'smommy replied: WOOOWW thats awesome I bet you will have a new baby anywhere from 1-2 wks

kit_kats_mom replied: well your body sure is getting ready for the big day isn't it?

I was dialated 2cm and 50% effaced for 2 months with Lauren though. Started during Thanksgiving and finally delivered on New Years Eve. Hopefully it will go faster for you.

PrairieMom replied: Yup, you are getting ready! I think you will go early. Probably before me! Good for you!

MyLuvBugs replied: We should place bets! lol just kidding. But I'm voting for around June 1st.

My3LilMonkeys replied: Well, that's definately a good sign!!! Wow, this is getting exciting - all the new babies will be here before we know it!

Same here, and effaced at 75% and still, right on the money with Macie.

With the twins I was 3cm for the last 5 weeks but was also on bedrest and medication to keep me from going early.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: Wow!! I can't believe how far along you are. This pg is flying by (for me at least)

I was effaced for quite some time, too. But, you are getting close.

Boys r us replied: Like everyone says, it's just one of those things that no one can really answer!!!
I will say, once you get something going down there..and it sounds like you have...I would walk around as much as you can and go up and down stairs a million times!! That is what I did with Brae once I had a little "activity" down there and two days after I started my heavy activity regiment, I was in the hospital at almost 4 cm dialted!

lisar replied: Your gona go early.

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: I was dialated and effaced for over 2 months with Katy and about 2 months with Matt...For some it means labor is real soon and for others it could still be ages...sorry. HOpefully you are one of the soon ones
