the stats
okay friends,
i just went to the OB today (the pregnancy dr.) and here are the nuts and bolts stats on the upcoming reesling:
i'm 3 cm dilated and 75% effaced--for any of you who may not be obstetrically inclined i've included a little pregnancy glossary at the end. i'm very excited! any work that my body does BEFORE going in to labor means less work later, oh yeah!
so that's the word. oh and i have very weirdly only gained 4 pounds during this pregnancy. i think it might be a combination of being A LOT more active and having gestational diabetes which keeps me from having limitless cookies and cream ice cream and chili cheese dogs--maybe i should just combine the 2 for a special, compact treat: chili cheese 'n' cream ice cream.
dilation Opening of the cervix during labor to allow the baby to pass through; 10 centimeters is considered fully dilated
effacement Gradual thinning and shortening of the cervix during labor--100% is considered fully effaced
