I am still only 1.5 dilated, but I am up to 70% effaced. The effacement bit is cool because Noah has never felt me this effaced before and I had him do a lot of twat checks through the last two labors. So I am sitting at the physical spot now that I was at most of the way through my last labor. I got this effaced in the last three hours or so of labor previously.

This is good news.

My OB stripped my membranes today. And she’s talking about an induction next week. I’m on board.

It was kind of funny that she was worried about hurting me with the stripping of the membranes. I did not mention that I’ve had much more painful things happen to my twat.
