What is a Station?
When your provider tells you about your baby’s station, she is referring to how far down his head has come into your pelvis. If your baby has dropped, but has not yet settled into your pelvis to begin his decent, it is measured in centimeters as a negative station. This negative measurement goes from -3 to -1. Once your baby has settled into your pelvis, but before he starts his descent to the birth canal, it is referred to as a zero (0) station. Once your baby starts heading towards the cervix, it is referred to as a positive station from 1 to 3. During this time it is likely that you will feel an increase of pressure and pain in your pelvic bone and vaginal area.
What station is our baby?!
Today at my doctor's appointment Dr. Reed told me I'm at Station 2! Baby is "heading" on outta there. I am not dilated at all but the doctor said I could go into labor at any time. It could be weeks or it could be tomorrow! Very exciting!! I have a lot to do! I go back Thursday the 23rd to see if I'm dilated!
