More bloody/streaky discharge than jelly.

He couldn't reach my cervix appaernetly...even though it felt like he was climbing up there with hob nail boots

OP posts:
lulumama · 02/01/2007 20:03

FrostyTheSnowMarsLady · 02/01/2007 20:04

Cervix was 50% efaced{ep??) but still posterior.

My cervix is always posterior because the GP alwasy has trouble down there doing a smear.

He gave it a bloody good try Lulu.

to quote him "I can't reach our cervix because my fingers aren't lomg enough"

But he really was trying very hard to reach, I was half way up the wall!!

what does 50% efaced mean??

OP posts:
Kaybeee · 02/01/2007 20:07

Efaced means when your womb thins out. So looks like shouldn't be long!

2HappyNewYear · 02/01/2007 20:09

Sheesh, at this rate we'll be able to keep the "I'm in labour" thread going for the whole of January!!

lulumama · 02/01/2007 20:10

yes..effacement is good !!

50 % effaced is excellent !

will prepare for no sleep!

Oh...ok...don't understand how he felt that but wasn't able to do the sweep properly but I won't grumble.

The braxtons have been coming with early labour type pains for a day or 2 now so maybe......
