Means your 4cm dilated and they can see your water through your cervix. So it can break any time. Just left labor and delivery tonight I'm also 4cm and bulging with baby number 3!!
It could be later today it could be 3 weeks from now. Just because you are dilated to something doen'nt mean labor is anytime soon...sorry. I have been dilated to a 3 for 2 weeks now :(
i went to the dr yesterday and am .5 cm diolted and mt cervix is short its at 2.1 do you think i will go to term? i gess there is a swab test that can determine if i will have the baby with in the next 2 weeks. is this true?
Irritation from the doctors figures checking the cervix, or your in labor.
When your contractions are five minutes apart.
The question you have typed, does not mean anything really!

AT 3 cm dilated, you can be placed on bed rest. I was placed on bed rest at 32 weeks and 6 days to prevent me from going into preterm labor.
i have been 1 cm for 3 weeks now! I dont think that how dilated you are really matters unless you are in active labor!
No - not at all. You will begin to dilate around 36 weeks and you can go 6 weeks without dilating any further. Most women are 1-2 cm dilated for the last weeks of their pregnancy. I really don't know why the doctors tell you this - it just means you worry. If you get to 4cm dilated it probably means you will go into labour soon.
eeh.. my doctor said the same thing when i was pregnant with my daughter. I went into preterm at 26 weeks,they stopped it, then at 36 weeks i started dialating. i was 50% and 1 cm.but i stayed that way from 36 weeks to 41.1 weeks.good luck :O)
You should be calling a doctor. If you feel like something isn't right, then get a professional opinion!
depending on the person and the number of pregnancies it could be hours to weeks.
