Hi there everyone
Is it possible I could already have started dilating at 34 weeks? My first was born early at 34 weeks and 6 days and with my second I had starting dilating at 36 weeks.
I have been having very intense regular braxton hicks and after self examination this morning (i know it was a stupid thing to do but i was worried), i found that my cervix is quite short and soft and already open to about one finger width. Does this mean I am already dilated to about 1 cm and if so, does it mean the baby will be more likely to come early?
I know its not very sensible to be trying to diagnose and check myself but i was just a bit worried after already having an early baby and im not due to see my doctor again for another 10 days. I dont want to bother him if in fact its nothing at all to worry about.
