I am 37 weeks pregnant. At 12 weeks I misscarried a twin. The other twin managed to survive and I was put on bedrest because of a weakened cervix because of the expelled twin fetus. I have been on and off bedrest for the entire pregnancy until 5 weeks ago. At my 35 week checkup they said I am 2 CM and 90% effaced. This is also my third child. It has been 19 days since I was told I am 2 cm. If the entire pregnancy I was told I am going to have a preemie because of all of the complications then how is it I can be so close and still no baby? I just want the reassurance when I hold him for the first time that all of the heartache and complications with this pregnancy were not for nothing. Any ideas on when I could go into labor? The pain is almost unbearable but it is not productive. Thanks for any answars you may have for me.

So you are almost 38 weeks now?
That's GREAT! You'll have a full term baby instead of a premie.
Every day your little one stays put is a day to grow bigger and stronger.
How do you know that "the pain is not productive" anyway? Have you been checked again since 35 weeks and shown no more progress?
How far dilated and effaced you are really says NOTHING about when you will have your baby. It's just another way docs try to "manage" your pregnancy. Many midwives don't even do cervical checks until you are in labor.

I had a normal labor except for the fact I was 2-3 cm dilated for 2 months, and 50-80% effaced. I carried to full term (38 weeks).
Some times we don't know why these things happen, they just do. Don't be in a hurry to have him yet, the longer he stays inside the better. GOD BLESS, AND GOOD LUCK!!

First off, I'm very sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I'll keep you in my prayers!
As for your question, nobody (not even doctors, really) can predict when it will happen. It's just a matter of when the baby is ready. I know that probably wasn't the answer you were looking for..but I hope it helped a bit. Congrats on your new little one and I pray everything turns out well. God bless.

Well, it seems like you're about 37+5 weeks now. congratulations, you are past the premie stage. You could go into labor anytime, or it may go late. My bet is your doctor won't let you go too late because you're already at least 2cm and they'll probably induce sometime soon. Good luck.

I ended up replacing my marriage ceremony colours bc I could not find them within the bridesmaids clothes colours! Since you're making them might I propose you journey as much as LA for the weekend and retailer within the garment district for the colours you're watching for? Hope that is helping

well if you are feeling pain, then ask the dr for a c-section.. with my pregnancy I wouldn't go past 7 and I had to do a c-section

With pregnancy, childbirth and children, there are no reassurances.
Congrats on your new baby.
