I think you're obsessing a teeny bit. I never knew how much my cervix was doing what until I was in the hospital having the kid. I'm really floored about the failure comment - I hope you're kidding. Everyone's different. What are you going to think if things in delivery don't go perfect? I'll tell you my story after you have your baby, because I have possibly the most horrible delivery story I've ever heard with both baby and mom surviving. But everything just melts away the second you set eyes on your baby. At least after what I went through I did have the mystical "bonding" experience everyone talks about.

It's hard not to think constantly about it but you'll be fine, the baby will be fine, and all this will just be a faint memory in a few days. Heh, you're making me feel majorly nostalgic. With all the crap we go through, I kind of feel sorry for men that they don't get to experience this.

LOL, stop thinking about your cervix!

You feel like a failure because your cervix hasn't dialated as much as the average?

It's hormones. Ya ain't failin' nuthin' :)

((((((HUGS))))))) Don't ever think your a failure! Especially when it comes to something like this. You have no control over your cervix. Going by the "average" on all that stuff..... I would of been considered the biggest failure ever when I had my son ;D LOL!

Oh sheesh, I wasn't dilated a smidge when I went in, they said 1cm to make me feel better-it really just meant that if the nurse poked her finger really f'ing hard (OW OW OW OW) it kind of went through.
Don't woooooorrrrrry about it.
My ma says that doing a lot of work and moving around during your pregnancy will tighten things up a bit and it'll be harder to get going. On the upside, I think you're gonna bounce back like a champ once the little man is out:D
