40W1D CLOSE CERVIX

Uy, alam ko yan na gutom-gutom feeling na, especially pag 40+ weeks na tapos parang wala pang something! Pero mama, a close cervix at 40W1D ay actually normal pa rin, hindi lahat ng tao ay nag-dilate on the same timeline, kaya please don't stress yourself pa more because that can actually slow things down. Sinabi ko lang ng OB ko na if you're past 40 weeks and cervix is still closed, kailangan mo talaga ng follow-up with your doctor para ma-check kung kailangan na ng induction or kung okay pa ang baby mo, seryoso, don't delay that appointment kasi sila lang ang makaka-assess ng best next step para sa inyo. A few of us moms went through the same and parang ang worry is scarier kaysa sa actual labor, promise! Hang in there, mama, labas na ng baby mo soon!
