36 Week Appt Update & ? for Mommies

Good morning ladies! I hope y'all are having a wonderful Monday!

I had my 36 week appointment this morning.  Everything is great...my swelling doesn't seem to be associated with anything other than being nearly 36 weeks pregnant so that is a good thing.

I start going to the doctor every week now, so I am looking forward to being checked and keeping a closer check on any progress that may be happening. 

Mommies - Did y'all start having internals at 37 weeks?  If so, when did you start seeing progress?

Re: 36 Week Appt Update & ? for Mommies

  • I never progressed. One week I was like 1 cm. the next week when I went in I was in labor. So for me the internals were pointless.
  • I believe it was 37th week.. i remember my first internal i was a fingertip dialated.. then the next appt i was 1-2cms and by my 39th week i was 4cm dialated and Gio was still 4 days late!
  • I had my first internal at 36 weeks because she checked for Strep B at that APPT which was a good thing because the next week was when I was induced because of Pre Eclampcia.
  • i was 1 cm when they checked me at 37 weeks and still 1 cm when my water broke at 38 weeks.  after 36 hours after water broke, i only made it to 4 cm, so i ended up with a C

    i'm soooooooooooooo excited for you!!!!  any day now!!!  who is your labor buddy? :)

  • I got my 1st internal at 37 weeks b/c I had lost my mucous plug and was having cramping. I was 2cm . I was the same thing when I went into labor at 39 weeks 3 days. I cried every week when they told me no change!

  • Now, this was a long time ago, but I was 2 cm for 3 weeks before my water broke 3 hours into the day after my due date. I believe I started my internals at 35 weeks. But that was 8 years ago.

     

    Not too much time left!!!

  • Thanks, y'all! I know I am in for a few more weeks...I was just wondering if there was any chance at all that I would have made any progress by next week. Looks like it is pretty common to start dialating that early.
