I was admitted to hospital for the 2 nights. When I went in on Sunday I was -3 to Ischial Spine, PP Ceph, Cervix very posterior 2 cm long & thick and the day I was discharged (Tuesday) I was -2 to Ischial Spine, PP Ceph and cervix was posterior, 1 cm thick + soft.
What does all this mean?? Someone help me understand it a bit better please.

You should really have got your mid wife or doctor to explain it properly for you. I don't work in gynaecology, but as a radiographer I obviously know what your Ischial spine is and other medical terminology you used. I could hazard a guess from your question, that they are measurements regarding your symphasis pubis, which opens during child birth to allow your baby to pass through. It sounds like the baby is on route love, so fingers crossed eh. I would speak to your doctor about this rather than ask on here, as it is only a guess on my part, an educated guess given your question, but still a guess al the same. Good Luck !!

PP (presenting part) refers to the bit of your baby that will arrive first (usually the head). Your midwife will note down how much of your baby's head can be felt above the brim of your pelvis
CEPH: cephalic. The position of a baby who is lying head down in the uterus.
As the babys head comes down, your cervix will go from being posterior and swing around towards the front.
These ischial spines are part of the bony portions of the mother's pelvis that the doctor or nurse can feel during the exam. A station is described as being anywhere on a scale from -5 to +5 with 0 being at the level of the ischial spine. If the baby is at 0 station, then the top of his head is at the level of the ischial spine. If the baby's station is a positive number, that means that the baby has moved farther down the birth canal past the ischial spine (closer to delivery).
You are very close to having a little one in your arms
Congats and good luck

It means you're progressing. The baby moves from -5 station to zero to +5 during delivery. Your baby went from -3 to -2, which means s/he's dropped a bit. Your cervical position has changed slightly from very posterior to plain ol' posterior, and your cervix is strating to "ripen." It's progress!
Eat spicy food, have sex (until your water breaks then stop), and walk around as much as you can take. That should help move things along.
Were you admitted to the hospital to induce labor? If they gave you Pitocin, that would certainly explain the change. At forty-one weeks, they're going to be starting to think about getting the baby out one way or another.

A -3 station is when teh babys head is down and right above the pelvis, but not engaged yet. -2 station is closer but still not fully engaged.. and so on. a 0 station is when teh babys head is engaged in teh pelvis fully and ready to decend into the birth canal. A +1 station is when teh baby has pased through the pelvis and beginnign into the birth canal. all the way up to a +4...a +4 station is when the baby is crowning during pushing, ready and abotu to be born.
As far as your cervix goes...the length and thickness is what effacement deals with. (thats where the doctor will say somethign liek you are 50% effaced). It is the thinning of the cervix. Your cervix is normall firm...but during effacement and dilation, the cervix softens in order to dilate and efface. (dilation is measured in centimenters). Your cervix will get shorter and softer as it prepared to efface and dilate.
It sounds like you are not dilated or effaced at all, but preparing to do so.
Think of it as a life saver in your mouth. As the life saver gets thinner, that is effacement, and the hole in the middle getting bigger is dilation. Once it is gone, you are 'complete' (100% effaced and dilated to 10 cm) and ready to push and have a baby. (weird example I know).
You coudl go into labor at anytime though, you do not have to be effaced or dilated at all to go into labor. Labor is what makes you efface and dilate more to have a baby. Good lcuak nad conggrats!
