This is a question for Australian women. Did you get an internal exam to check to see if you were dilated whilst pregnant, or did you have to wait until you were in labour? I'm 37 weeks pregnant.

When pregnant with my son the doctors and midwives had done a few "speculum internals" due to cramping at 28 weeks and a few more due to other reasons. During my contractions which lasted 2 days before my labour they done a few simple less invasive internals too see how far dilated I was all up I had so many that it felt like a routine thing, I was still glad when it was all over though. I had my son in a Queensland hospital. This pregnancy ahs been much more relaxed and less complicated I hope all goes well for you, best wishes and congrats.

Congratulations, I had a few internals leading up to the birth with my son and once in labour I was checked when I got to the hospital to find out I was already 6cm after only 3 hours of labour, I didn't have another internal during labour, they checked how far I was by the red line that is the split of your crack, as you dilate more the line gets higher.
With my daughter I had contractions for 5 hours at 36 weeks I went to hospital and they checked me out and was 2cm, they gave me painkillers and sent me home as it was only pre-labour, I wasn't checked again until I was ready to push, They only checked me because it was when I was about to get my pain killers as my labour was very quick, lasting only 55 mins.
It all depends on your doctor or midwife, I was at Ipswich hospital. I wish you all the very best on you labour and birth, and with your beautiful baby.

I smoked in my first being pregnant and does not achieve this back (had no issues, he became 7 lbs. 15 oz). i in my opinion recommend that in case you won't be able to stop, decrease decrease back as far as you are able to and boost the quantity of diet C on your weight-loss plan. frequently, make certain your weight-loss plan is a minimum of as healthful because it could be. lots of the study did not understand that it's not only smoking that would want to bring about smaller little ones and issues, in spite of the indisputable fact that the final existence-type of a smoker has a tendency to be a lot less healthful than that of a smoker. So, improving that section can possibly mitigate some issues that you may want to otherwise have. you've my sympathy. i comprehend how tricky it really is to stop and positioned out that the favourite smoker quits 7-9 situations till now fulfillment. Took me 7. BTW, persons in case you'll spit information, you may want to wish to question those from the U.S. Public well being provider. contained in the 70s, almost 60% of moms smoked even as pregnant. That dropped to about 30% contained in the 80s after the first 2 nationwide Smoke Outs. there became no accompanying drop in toddler deaths or income in toddler weights. it isn't in basic terms smoking persons, that is existence-type.
