Thanks so much for watching this video! 😊 This is an updated version of our video about cervix dilation symptoms and the purple line that we posted in 2021. We talk about the same cervix dilation symptoms. However, we updated the information on the purple line and how accurate it is to estimate your cervical dilation. And then we also show you a more reliable way to tell, if and you much you are dilated.

I watched almost videos and apply some tips, really it helpful. My baby girl is 9 months old, I'm normal delivered. We don't hv the knowledge of these things, I'm really thankful of u guys💐

I'm already on my 40th week. I lost my mucus plug 2weeks ago after the doctor did sweeping. Until now I don't feel anything. I did walking for an hour everyday, ate dates, used birthing ball but nothing helped. I am so anxious now. I am thankful for all your videos, love watching them.

Hi there 😘, first of all, thanks SO MUCH for your lovely feedback! We are very happy to hear that you find our videos helpful!! 😘😘 Regarding your case: Did your doctor tell you anything about your cervix? Is it soft/effaced/dilated? Also, do you know if your baby is engaged? Sometimes, it is emotions that can prevent labor from starting, particularly fear and anxiety. So, that could be the reason too. In fact, we just recorded a video about that 2 hours ago, which we will publish in 2 days... Looking forward to your reply!

I really appreciate your reply. Actually after he did the sweeping, he mentioned that I was 1 cm already. He didn’t tell me anything about effacement, engagement, or anything about my cervix and baby. He just told me he will do sweeping every week after that. I will have another check up tomorrow and will keep you updated. I am looking forward to that video you’ll be soon uploading. Very informative videos, keep it up!

Thanks so much for saying that dilation is not everything. Im currently 38 weeks ang 5 days pregnant and my obgyne said im still not dilated. It made me worried. I already feel lightning crotches though.

@CareAboutLittleOnes

Жыл бұрын

Hi there 😊, no worries at all! 😊 The thing is that most people over-emphasize dilation! But the reality is that your contractions will take care of your dilation, no matter if you have been dilated before labor starts or not. So, you really don't need to worry about that! If you feel lightening crotches, it normally means that baby is moving further down the pelvis. As a result, baby will put more pressure on the cervix. And that too will cause your cervix to dilate eventually. In brief: all good! 😊 We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️

Hi there 😘, good question! Unfortunately, there is no sign other than green/black discharge. It's also always a good ideal to make sure you regularly feel your baby in your womb (i.e. baby is supposed to be active regularly). However, even if your baby is less active and you see a doctor for a checkup, it is difficult to say from that, that your baby passed meconium... ☹️

Hi there 😊, yes, this is totally normal! In fact, some women lose the mucus plug only once labor has started.

Is cervical length 4.5 cm at 34 weeks normal?

@CareAboutLittleOnes

2 жыл бұрын

Hi there 😘, if a cervix is already THAT delated at 34 weeks, there is a risk of a preterm delivery. In that case, it is important that your provider keeps observing your case and, if required, do everything possible that you don't go into labor. Also, they are most likely gonna tell you to stay in bed and avoid anything that may make your cervix dilate even further, such as exercises. We hope this helps! We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️

Hi I'm going to be watching all your videos. I'm 36+3 days but my doctors said he wouldn't do a cervix exam until 39+ weeks any idea why this would be? I know a lot of women don't want it but I do because I want to know.

@CareAboutLittleOnes

Жыл бұрын

Hi there 😊, good question! We know that doctors have their preferences. We know some doctors who would do cervical exams in both, week 36 and week 39. And then others who only do them when you are close to your due date. Most of the times, they argue that the status of your cervix in week 39 is more relevant than in week 36 in order to assess the body's "readiness" to go into labor. Although technically, they are right, we think a woman should have the right to make her own decision if she wants to have an exam or not (and when)... Unfortunately, that's all we can say about it.... We hope this helps! 😊 We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️

@CareAboutLittleOnes

Hi there! 😊 Unfortunately, whether or not you are at risk of preterm labor is something that only your doctor can tell you because it does not only depend on your cervix but also on other factors. Still, in general, whenever there is a risk of preterm labor, the only thing you can do really is bedrest! However, we do hope that - if your doctor indeed believes that you are at risk of preterm labor - that she gives you clear instructions on what to do (again, depending on your pregnancy case...) So, please don't hesitate to get in touch with your OB or midwife! We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️

Hi there Hannah 😊, yes, unfortunately, this can happen! It's hard to say why it happens but it's nothing to worry about. Keep in mind that the biggest part of your cervical dilation can only happen with the help of contractions. Also, oftentimes, the baby is just trying to find a better position in your womb. And if baby's head then puts more pressure on your cervix, it will help to further dilate it... We hope this helps! 😊 We wish you ALL THE BEST for you and your baby!! ❤️

Hi there 😊, thanks a lot for sharing this with us! 😊 Unfortunately, the purple line theory is only based on statistical values. And the correlation between the length of the line and the dilation is not perfect. As a result, as always when it comes to statistics, there will be exceptions. In other words, the purple line theory does not apply to every woman. It's the usual problem we have in science. For example: if a study finds that 80% of women have a softer cervix after eating dates, that's great! But it also means that 20% of women will have no effect whatsoever...

Hi there 😊, personally, we are BIG fans of letting labor start on its own. This gives baby so much more time to develop. Also, on average, there is no need to be worried about meconium. Only a small percentage passes meconium in the womb. And an ever smaller percentage inhales that meconium so that it can become a problem. So, please do not be afraid of it! Also, the German health care system is really great! You should be in good hands, particularly in the unlikely case that your baby does pass meconium in your womb... But here are some things that might help you speed up the process: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aqaZysSuoNrOqrw.html ;-) We hope this helps! 😊 We wish you ALL THE BEST for the upcoming birth, for you and your baby!! ❤️
