Cervix check

Had a cervix check today at 36 weeks and I am 3cm and 50% effaced curious what everyone else was at their checks. I am slightly panicking want her to hold out till 37 weeks.

Had mine yesterday im 40+2 still only 1cm i have a induction scheduled for friday but i hope she comes on her own.. try not to worry to much you could be at 3cm for a while. But definitely be on the lookout for any signs like losing your mucus plug and of course contractions.

I had one at 36w5d and was 1.5cm and 40% effaced. Then another at 38w2d and was 3cm and still only 40% effaced. Now I’m 39wk and still no signs of going into labor any time soon! Remember that unless you see the “bloody show”, it’s possible for your mucus plug to regenerate so effacement can shift week over week. And like it was mentioned in the comment above, you can be at 3cm for weeks before going into actual labor. You got this!

Try not to stress about it. You can be 3cm for weeks and still go past your due date.

My sister was 3cm for a month and had to be induced—still resulted in a 24 hour labor. Like everyone else says, you can be 3cm for a while.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!
