Confusion

So as I posted in an earlier blog post, my husband had been checking my dilation.  He did for the two days he was home before Dorian arrived and was accurate with what he was feeling and what the nurses said I was.  So when I went in for my appointment Friday I was sure I would be at a 1 ½ like my husband had felt.  My doctor was backed up that day and although I didn’t feel she was rushing through the appointment at all she barely had her fingers up in me before she announced that my cervix was closed.  I was a little disappointed as I have been contracting steady enough that I was confidant there should be change, but didn’t want to second guess her.  I told Josh and he was disappointed and confused as he swore he felt a hole that was changing sizes.  We then did some research and looked at some pictures so he had a visual as what things should look and feel like.  Since the doctor said I was closed, I didn’t feel the need to have Josh check me every night.  Sunday, we went out what we thought would be a short walk.  This short walk on an unmarked trailhead turned into quite a hike and by the time we made it to the car I was contracting hard and steady; enough that I felt Josh should go ahead and check me again.  We went over the pictures again before he checked me.  Once again he said he felt like I was dilated to a two and the size of the hole was definitely changing.  So the question is: who is wrong; the doctor or my husband?  This is going to drive me crazy as my next appointment isn’t until Friday.  I just wish I knew where I was at so I could try and be a little more prepared.  I just had Josh check me again this evening and according to the pictures he said he would guess that I am dilated to a three, almost four, but there hasn’t been much effacing.

I have just decided that if the same occurrence happens at this next appointment I will ask her what he could possibly be feeling, but if all the sudden I am dilated to a three then I will just assume Josh had been correct the whole time.  Any ideas as to how this happened?  What do you think?
