Im 36 weeks now and getting curious about labour. Like at what point does the body start dilating, does it happen weeks before ya only when contractions start? First baby so no idea yaar.
Usually, dilation begins slowly in the 9th month. I spent my last trimester at my mom's place, and my dadi and mom kept telling me to walk a little so dilation happens naturally. Having family around really helps keep you calm.
I totally understand how overwhelming this waiting game can be. Most moms start dilating very slowly in the last few weeks of the third trimester. Your body is doing something so miraculous, just trust the process and take deep breaths.
Honestly, dilation usually starts in the last few weeks, around 37 or 38 weeks. I was so busy hogging on pani puri and sweets to satisfy my final cravings that I barely noticed the early cramps! Just enjoy your food while you wait.
It usually starts in the final weeks of pregnancy, but everyone is different. Since I had thyroid issues, I was super regular with my weekly checkups so my doctor could monitor everything closely. Make sure you don't miss your doctor appointments now.
I am currently 36 weeks and my doctor said she will check my dilation next week! I'm so nervous about how it feels. Has anyone else felt early cramps or pressure before dilation actually starts?
Haan ji, dilation toh bilkul last weeks mein hi shuru hoti hai, late 3rd trimester mein. Kisi kisi ko toh labor pains ke time hi dilation hoti hai, toh pehle se tension mat lo na. Sab normal hoga.
Look, dilation can start weeks before labor or literally on the day of delivery. With both my kids, I was barely 1 cm dilated till my water broke. Don't stress about the numbers, your body knows when to do its job.
