I'm now admitted. Im only at 1 cm but 80% effaced and at a -1 station. Whatever that means
Dilation, I think everyone gets. Effacement means the cervix is thinning, so you've got a very thin cervix right now. Station means how far down into the birth canal that the baby is, as related to certain bones in your pelvis, called ischial spines. Your baby is ~1cm above the ischial spines, so fairly well engaged in the pelvis.

I saw my doc not too long ago and was at a 2.5. Because of how long ago my water broke they wanted to get me into more active labor. They started me on pit about 20 minutes ago. If I respond well my water birth might still be on the table. If not, oh well. I honestly am fine with however bunny needs to come.
