it depends on the shape of the baby's head, the way it comes out, and if you have twins. but it usually takes 15-30 min.

What does it mean if you are 50 percent effaced and not dilated?
50% is out of 100% which means your cervix is paper thin. Once your cervix is dialated to 10cm & your 100% effaced baby is ready to be born. How long it could be in this position, depends on your body.
How many centimeters dialated to you have to be before you give birth?
You need to be at 10 centimeters dilation, and 100% effacement. (effacement is "softening " of the cervix, at 100%, it's thinned out to allow the baby's head to pass through). If you start pushing before you are completely effaced, the cervical "lip" will swell, and that will delay delivery
How long will it take to get 100 effaced and to labor when you are 37 weeks 80 percent effaced and 2 cm dialated with your first child and you don't know the baby's station but he is in position?
YOu won't know all you can do is stay hydrated and go for a walk. Walking speeds up the process. Or try some old wives tales like eating spicy food. Your body will know when it the best time. Some people pop at 37 weeks, that is there done time. It can take days to weeks. It just depends on how your body dialates. I was in labor for 37 hours fully effaced and only dialated to three cm. with my first child. I ended up with a c-section. It wasn't to bad just as painful as labor. GOOD LUCK
What does 80 percent effaced mean?
It means that only 20% of the humidity of 100% is in the air.
1 cm dilated 80 percent effaced -1?
This means your cervix is open 1 cm (you need to dilate to 10 cms to birth the baby). Your cervix is 80% effaced which means it is getting very thin -- you need to be 100% effaced. -1 refers to where baby is in relation to the coccyx (tailbone or "spines"). There are "stations" for baby's position. To give birth, you need to be 10cms dilated, 100% effaced and baby needs to be at at least +2 station.
What does it mean when the doctors says 2 cm and 30 percent effaced?
it mean that person not in the stage of disease which shows symptoms but he has organisms in body which cause disease. if the number of microorganism is increased 40 percent, it shows symptoms OR, it could apply to the childbirth process. Basically how much the cervical opening has pulled back or thinned. But this is also tied to how much the cervix has dilated, or opened up to allow the child to be born. Fully dilated is 10 cm.
You have a McDonald cerclage and the doctor said you are 100 effaced how long until you deliver?
A cerclage MUST be taken out before you go into labor or it will tear your cervix to shreds & put you at risk for a hysterectomy!
34 weeks and 50percent ephased what does that mean?
== == Your cervix prepares for birth by softening and thinning, or effacing. You won't feel this sign of labor happening. Instead, your health care provider will check for signs of cervical change with vaginal exams. Effacement is often expressed in percentages. When you're 50 percent effaced, your cervix is half its original thickness. Your cervix must be 100 percent effaced, or completely thinned out, before a vaginal delivery
You are 100 effaced and 1 cm dilated how much longer do you think it could be or can i do anything to speed up the process?
If the cervix is 100% effaced and one centimeter dilated, it means that the cervix is completely thinned out but dilation is not that much. The baby will come when he is ready, but some women walk or have sex in an attempt to bring on labor.
What does effaced mean with regards to antenatal care?
The cervix dialates during the course of labor. This is measured in centimeters across (from 1 centimeter to 10 which is completely dialated.) In addition to opening up (dilatation), the cervix also thins out (effaces) this is measure in percentage from 10% to 100% effaced. As labor progresses, the uterus enlongates and the cervical tissue is drawn up into the body of the uterus, similar to the forskin of a penis being incorporated into the shaft during an errection. following a routine labor vaginal exam, the MD might state: : "she's 3-4/40% and -2." this means 3-4 centimeters in dilatation, 40% effaced (and the presenting part of the fetus is 2 centimeters above the ischial spine which describes how far down the baby has come)
1 cm dilated 100 percent effaced and baby is fully engaged How much longer do you have?
There is no way to accurately predict when you will have your baby
Im 35 weeks and im 3 cm and 100 effaced when will labor start and should you take castor oil to start it?
You are still a couple weeks off of wanting to have ur baby. If i were you I would wait one more week...i know that sounds like alot but im 2cm dialated 60 percent effaced and 33 weeks and they put me in the hospital and on restricted bed rest....my doctor told me im not leaving till im 37 weeks....give ur baby the best chance...sides caster oil is a horrible thing to do...i tried it with my daughter and was sick for 3 days...never even gave me a contraction....nipple stimulation works wonders...
