39 Weeks Pregnant & No Dilation? What to Expect (5th Pregnancy)


Question
i'm 39 weeks pregnant and i still show no signs of dilating this is my 5th pregnancy. is this normal?

Answer
It's completely normal!  Remember that dilation means absolutely nothing.  You can be 0 dilated, and be holding your baby two hours later, or you can be dilated to 4 and walk around pregnant for weeks.  Internal exams in late pregnancy and even in labor give you no useful information on when you will deliver.
