You mention about dilating. In that pregnancy, I was dilated 2cm and 80% on my first check, about five or six weeks prior to my due date. Surprised the heck out of the doctor. I had been having severe cramps which I just considered "must be normal--BH's or something". It was my first PG. I left work early (by my old-fashioned husband's choice) shortly thereafter and the cramps stopped. What about being dilated like this so early? Thanks.
