A member asked:

I got checked yesterday for dilation. i was 1 cm dialeted. all day i have been having irregular contractions. should i get checked again? or wait?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get checked again: If you have started dilating your cervix and have had regular contractions for a day then you should be checked again to see if you have dilated further. Good luck to you on a healthy delivery.
