Hmmmm I never got told but think it wouldn't have been a good thing. I found out when I was pg with Elijah that when I got to hossy with Oskar I was 9cm.... with Elijah though I don't know what I was but I do know that there was slow progress with some of it as the doc commented that there wasn't any or much change in about an hour and if things didn't start moving more then they were going to discuss another c/s.... ahahahah not on my watch Nelly... had already had a VBAC and I think it kick started my body again cos he was born about half an hour later. Anyway, back to question... I think it would've disheartened me especially with Elijah.
