You should not insert anything inside your vagina when your cervix is dilated. Stimulation of the clitoris is O.K., though! (And orgasm good for encouraging labor!) Enjoy!
You can have an enema during labor but not on active labor meaning not after 5 cm dilated.
No. I have been dilated to 3 cm for over a week now. I was at 4 cm when I was induced with my first. My doctor said that one lady came in dilated to 10 cm (that's completely dilated) and was not in labor yet. She had to be induced.
When a rectangle measuring 8 cm by 3 cm is dilated by a scale factor of 4, each dimension is multiplied by 4. This means the new length will be 8 cm × 4 = 32 cm, and the new width will be 3 cm × 4 = 12 cm. Consequently, the dilated rectangle will have dimensions of 32 cm by 12 cm.
About the size of a quarter.
If you are 1 cm dilated and have not yet experienced your water breaking, it's generally considered safe to use a hot tub, but it’s important to consult your healthcare provider first. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific situation and any potential risks. Additionally, ensure the water temperature is safe and comfortable, as overheating can be a concern during pregnancy. Always prioritize your health and the baby's safety.
The cervix is considered fully dilated at 10 centimeters.
Is 4 cm considered active labor ?
No you have to wait for 10 cm.
i have been 1 cm for 3 weeks now! I dont think that how dilated you are really matters unless you are in active labor!
AT 3 cm dilated, you can be placed on bed rest. I was placed on bed rest at 32 weeks and 6 days to prevent me from going into preterm labor.
I am also 1cm dilated and 80% effaced...1 week ago I was 1 cm dilated and 70% effaced. It is different for everyone...Although my DR. said the norm was 3 days after you lose your mucus plug...good luck
everyones different... mine broke without dilation
