How many cms dialated do you have to be before the doctor will induce you?
Q. I am 35 weeks pregnant and was found to be 1/2cm dialated on Friday. I don't really want to be induced, but at what point will the doctor decide to induce labor. What is true about being induced? I just had a friend scheduled to be induced at 39 weeks since she was at 2cm for about 3-4 weeks. Yet, when I ask about being induced, most people say that doctors don't induce until after 42 weeks have passed. Does it depend on the doctor?

A. Most of the time you won't be induced in less you are over due, or the baby is under stress, and even if most of the time if the baby or mother is under some kind of stress they will do a csection and not even induce you. You are at least 5 weeks away from being induced if that were to happen.

Any way to tell how many centimeters dialated I am at home?
Q. I don't want to be admitted to the hospital too early and was wondering if there is a way for me or my husband to measure how dialated I am before I go to the hospital.
Asked by nancy - Wed Jan 2 01:58:02 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Actually yes lol! I looked it up a few weeks ago, Your husband should wash his hands or put on the gloves like they use at the doctors, put lube on his fingers and insert one or two inside you, the cervix is now pointed toward your back for delivery, so you have to go kinda deep like at the doctors, and feel for the opening of the cervix. They say one finger equals 1 centimeter and so on. It is important to wash your hands to prevent infection and what not. Hope this helps.

A. NO NO NO! I just saw this post, and realize it was from a day ago, but I just had to write you. A loss of peripheral vision in one eye is always serious, as is having one eye dilated. Unless you used some type of drop ofr nose spray, (pseudophedrine can cause the eye to dilate) you absolutely need to see an eye m.d!

How can you tell if your dialated?
Q. I'm 32wks pregnant and my cervix feels soft and kinda open, I can fit the tip of my finger practically.

A. I am a doctor, but not an obstetrician. It is common for the cervix to be a little soft and fit part of the finger during pregnancy. The cervix usually dialates to 10cm during the initial stages of labour. If you are worried about it, the only way to ease your concerns would be to get your midwife to finger you. If you are not bleeding and have no abdominal contractions, then i would not be too concerned, and the examination can wait several days.

What does it mean my cervix partially dialated to 1 cm?
Q. I am 32 weeks pregnant. Was in a car accident friday. Was taken to the hospital with contractions. They got them to stop and was sent home. Two days later I was back in the hospital with the contractions. They checked my cervix and said that the lower part of my cervix was dialated to 1 cm but the top part of it was still closed and that I was long. They sent me home on precardia.
Asked by Nikki - Tue Jun 22 00:10:39 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Your cervix is starting to open, the fact that it is long means that the baby is still high and not ready to be born. As you get closer to the end of labour your cervix will be thin (the opposite of what you are). As long as you aren't having early contractions it sounds like things are good for you. If you were sent home from the hospital and not even put on bed rest then this means you are fine. My cousin had the same experience as you. She had early contractions, at 34 weeks, the contractions were stopped after spending a day and night in the hospital. She ended up giving birth two days past her due date! Good Luck!

A. This is a skill that takes a while to perfect but essentially we insert the first and middle fingers with a sterile glove into the women's vagina and find the cervix. We are looking for the effacement (thickness of the cervix) in percentage 0-100% effaced, we are looking for dilation measured in centimetres (closed to fully dilated) and we may try and determine the position of the baby by feeling the sutures in the baby's head.

How long will my eyes stay dialated?

Asked by vilma - Thu Feb 26 17:59:35 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. That depends upon what drop the doctor used to dilate your eyes. Here are some different drops that can be used to dilate eyes. 1) Phenylephrine (shortest acting but not a very good dilator) 2) Mydriacyl (gives rapid dilation and shortest acting of the really good dilators. 3-5 hours and then they start to resolve) 3) Cyclopentolate (rapid dilation that causes deep cycloplegia--blurriness. Lasts longer than mydriacyl) 4) Homatropine (rapid dilation that can last for a couple of days) 5) Atropine (this is the big boy. Rapid dilation and can last for days and days) Chances are pretty good your doctor used mydriacyl.

Asked by Sophia's Mommy - Fri Sep 11 02:43:29 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Cervical checks don't really mean much. You can walk around dilated to 3cm for weeks, or you can stay closed up to a few hours before your baby is born. Cervical checks just aren't a very reliable measurement. They're not an accurate indicator of when labor will start, and they're not really that reliable during labor, either. Many OBs and midwives don't even check the cervix at all. If you don't want them, you can tell your doctor you don't want to be checked. They can lead to false hope that labor is going to start soon when it may not, or they can disappoint you if you're not dilated, when labor could be right around the corner.

A. It varies how big a baby will measure at 36 weeks. On average your baby will be about 5 1/2 pounds. However, rate of growth is individual for babies during pregnancy just like after they are born. All babies don't weigh the same at birth nor do all 3 month old babies weigh the same. In the same way, all babies at 36 weeks gestation are not going to weigh the same. I have given birth 4 times. With my second baby, I was beginning to efface and dilate 3 weeks before his due date. Despite that, though, he wasn't born until 11 days past his due date. I was effacing and dilating 6 weeks before my due date with my 3rd baby and she wasn't born until 5 days after her due date. When you begin to efface and dilate has no real bearing on how soon you'l [cont.]

A. Hi :) I would of course contact your OB to confirm before you do have sex however: If you have not been contracting and have not had vaginal bleeding and your membranes are still in tact then it should be safe. If your OB does say its ok, I know that sex is probably the LAST thing in the world you feel like doing BUT it can be really beneficial for when it comes time to have bubs. Semen has prostaglandins in it, this is the same stuff that they use in the gels when they induce women, just a higher concentration. This means that when you do go into labour your cervix will already be nice and soft which can be helpful :) Goodluck xx

Asked by baby girl on the way - Thu Oct 9 18:09:08 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments
A. how far you are dilated has absolutely nothing to do with the need for c section. You might be induced, but that's about it unless other complications come up. So if you need a c section either there is some other reason you need one or your dr just uses any excuse to do them and that is not good!

Q. I am only dialated to 1 1/2 cm because my doctor stretched my cervix 3 days ago. he said that i may have to have a c section but i am scared. How bad is a c section compared to a vaginal birth?

Can pupils become dialated from a lack of sleep?
Q. I have read that they get dialated from drugs, lack of light, being in love/attracted to someone, and nervous system arousal (adrenaline). My girls pupils are VERY dialated when around me even in a VERY well lit room. She does not do drugs so I am reading it as a sign of love/attraction. But she claims that it is because she doesn't get much sleep. For example, her pupils were VERY dialated on our first date and she claimed it was because she hadn't slept for a couple days. Once again she does NOT do drugs. No she doesn't do drugs believe me... I read in an article that peoples pupils only become dialated like this even in a well lit room when in love. She sleeps everyday, she just hadn't slept for a couple days before our first date (I… [cont.]

A. Sleep deprivation causes excessive daytime sleepiness, inability to concentrate, low energy and irritability...I have never heard of dilation of the pupils as a side effect of sleepiness.

A. They will probably induce you at 37 or 38 weeks when they know the baby will be ok. No one will ever induce or knowlingly let you continue to dilate any sooner than 36, when Doctors consider a woman "full term" Relax and enjoy these days before your baby gets here. I know it seems like so far away, but trust me, the time WILL come. And then you'll wish you could just go back to being pregnant.
