Finger Tip Dilated at 36 weeks-XPost from Pregnancy because many of you have BTDT

I just got back from my 36 week appt and the doctortold me I was finger tip dilated and my cervix was soft. He said I wouldn't be having the baby this week (thank goodness-I am not ready!)

But, that got me thinking-does this mean I could go early? i.e next week or the week after or is this just normal for being 36 weeks along?

on my 34 week appointment my service was soft , i gave birth on my 36 week, my appt was wed and i delivered on monday. if your doc isn't concerned don't worry but have your hospital bag ready just in case.

You are probably not having the baby for atleast another couple of weeks.... And he said that your cervix was soft, which just means that it's getting ready to dialate more... You're too cute

I was the same, with head down and baby low. I didn't deliver until a couple days shy of 40 weeks.

Don't go crazy getting your hopes up yet (I did), but have your bag ready just in case. Every woman is different!

I was dilated 1cm and baby was in position for 4 weeks and gave birth by induction at 41 weeks. Everyone is different, when dc decides to come that's when it will happen...good luck and hang in there!

I wouldn't count on going early. I was a fingertip dilated at 37 weeks and was 5 days late.
