I'm 36weeks 3days pregnant with baby number 4 and rightly or wrongly I asked hubby to don a rubber glove and check my cervix. He said my cervix is open and about 2cm Soft on the out side but hard as Bone inside ????? Dose this mean I'm not effaced as its soft and squigy and being my 4th my cervix will be open already its and it's not dilated any?.
See the reason iv asked him to check is I had a scan the other day and baby measured huge already 7lb 11oz I'm REALLY scared as know now I'm going to have to have a huge baby one way or another. Iv done nothink but panic and cry since I found out. Iv been trying clarey sage bathes ,walking LOADS ,bouncing on yoga ball, sex, I know baby wont come till baby's ready not when I'm ready :( but the consultant I saw said they won't help me just because of a big baby he offered me sweep at 40weeks grrr I know it won't work (as I had sweeps with all my daughters and they didn't work I went over with all) so my true fear is my baby will go over due and be huge if he's already 7lb 11oz and only 36weeks along he could be inside for another 5-6 weeks so could according to every think iv read he can out 1lb week on so could end up being 12-13lb !!!
Anyway got lost in a rant sorry my original question is about my cervix. dose it mean I'm starting something or is it completely normal being number 4 ? and I'm nowhere near having my baby?
I have been getting ALOT of Braxton hicks with this baby and ALOT of pressure down below x
