Dilation at 36-37 weeks of pregnancy

Hi. First-time mum. Today I had a check-up with my midwife – I'm currently 36 weeks and 5 days into my pregnancy. Terrible back and pelvic pain, period cramps. She said I was 2cm dilated. Is that normal/okay? How long after that did you give birth? 🩷😊

I went from 1cm to 6cm in an hour, had my little boy 2 hours later. If the cramps get closer together I’d be heading straight for the hospital xx

For me it was like a week after my appointment when they said I was 2cm dilated that my water broke.

I was 1cm dilated at all 3 of my sweeps (2 one week and another the following week) plus my two pessary inductions until the point of my waters being manually broken for me

As you’re classed as preterm, if the pains increase or you have any concerns please don’t hesitate to go to triage.
Why your midwife did a cervical check at preterm and during your appt I don’t know because that’s no routine. She should have referred you to hospital.
