Im currently 38 weeks pregnant. This pregnancys been one complicaton after another, and right when it was starting to get easier I got told my cervix is behind my sons head. I guess that is the cause and reason for my checks putting me in tears because of pain and spotting for two days after each check. According to my dr at 36 week I was 1 cm diolated and 80% thinned. She said the same thing for my 37 week check, and now for my 38 week check. Im worried, is this normal or not? Ive tested negative for preclampsnia since i show signs of it, but my dr wants to retest me next week too.
