[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This question is exactly why all women should be required to take a childbirth class. Not trying to be mean, but that's exactly the type of info you learn in there. I can't imagine going through this with all the crazy new terms and NOT knowing what it means.[/quote]

I agree. It's a shock that someone can get to 37 weeks and not have taken a class or asked her OB for more detail or read a reputable book on the topic.  This is a basic. [/quote]

Actually what's basic is the fact that you misunderstand OP's question. She didn't ask for the definition of effacement.  She was clearly looking for feedback on her particular situation. We all know that the textbook stuff they tell you in childbirth class does not always match up to personal experience. Also if you are an information junkie (as I am) I'm sure you know that there is a shocking amount of variation in the information you get from even "reputable" sources about pregnancy and childbirth.  So back off the OP -- it sounds like you have quite a bit to learn yourself. [/quote]
