Progression lines

I came across a thing on TikTok about dilation and it was saying about a non invasive way to check is a purple line from ur bum to ur back, I’m 37 week+3 and when I checked I do have a dark purple line going up my crack 😂 has anyone else looked at this? I only checked as I’m being induced on Friday this is my 3rd baby so I’m hoping I’m at least 1-2 cm as I feel a tone of pressure down below like something is going to fall out 😂

Don’t know why “going up my crack” made me laugh so much. I too am 37+3 and will check crack lines tomorrow and report back. In bed already too lazy to move.

@Miranda well I just checked again before getting in the bath 😂 but my other hole is also very swollen too 😖 feels like I’ve been punched down there 😩

@Megan we are hot messes by this point. I made the mistake of looking at my vagine using a mirror because I felt like it had been mauled by a hammer in my sleep or something and have given myself ptsd.

@Megan omfg I couldn’t wait and went to check! What is this purple line? Is it a new stretch mark?????

@Megan https://www.wildwoodbirthpdx.com/purple-line-dilation mind= blown

@Miranda yeah might go get a tape measure now 😂 I’m hoping I am dilated even just a little this is my 3rd baby I got caught pregnant when my youngest was 4 months she’s just turned one yesterday 😂 so I’m hoping for a quick induction 😂 or if they can a sweep to avoid induction 🤭 xxxx

@Miranda no I don’t think it’s a stretch mark 😂

@Miranda well I realised I better give it a quick once over with the razor when I took a picture to see 😂 🦍

I’m so curious about this now 😂

@Sharnee do a quick check 😂 won’t hurt hahaha xxx

My antenatal teacher taught us this actually. And that you can tell by coldness in legs etc too

Lmaoo I’m now laughing like an idiot and scared sh*tless 🤣 I have one but I’m not due til the end of feb.. this is my 3rd baby I was 3cm with #1 at 39+6, 4cm with #2 at 38+6 without knowing for how long or realising

Update been for my last scan today before induction and they felt baby where her head was and she’s fully engaged 😩 they didn’t do a cervical check but it’s given me a bit of hope I might be at least a cm-2 dilated as my others never engaged till delivery 😂 xxxx

Sorry to but in guys lol but I’m due on 21st I have a very prominent purple line that I measured at 19cm which doesn’t seem to correlate to any of the charts 🤔 just wondering if any of you managed to figure out how dilated/ close to labor you were from the line? I’m desperate to figure out if I’m progressing 😅

Oooh I will hopefully be back tomorrow with an update 😉 have a midwifery app and hoping for a cervical check so I can let you know how that works out. I still have a purple line that seems to have gotten more prominent and longer since this post was made 🤣
