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.
You don't have to be effaced or dilated to go into labor. But this could mean u will be waiting for the bundle of joy little longer! Good luck!
There is no way to accurately predict when you will have your baby
happy birthday mommy, less than a week
One will know if one's pupils are dilated if one can no longer see through their eyes clearly. One can check with eye doctors to confirm if one's pupils are dilated.
Anything left over after a process that is no longer useful.
Effaced relates to the cervix. When you go into early labour the cervix which has been long and closed starts to draw up around the baby's head with contractions or downward pressure of the baby's head. When a cervix is effaced it is no longer long, the next step is dilation.

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!
The doctor wont do that unless the cervix and body is ready. I know it's uncomfortable but if they do it when the body is not ready, the labor can be harder and longer and that is not something you want.
IVE BEEN THERE. YEAH YOU'RE ABOUT THERE. I GOT 4 KIDS AND MY LAST WAS OVER DUE (4MTHS AGO) I USED CASTER OIL TO SPEED THINGS UP. 1-3 TABLESPOONS CHASED DOWN WITH ORANGE JUICE SHOULD HELP YOU OUT. OLD MIDWIVES TRICK
It really depends. I went into labor within 6 hours, my daughter in law is being induced right now as I type this and she was all these three things last Sunday the 11th. So here she is 8 days later being induced. Her sister didn't give birth for 2 weeks after all the above mentioned. Baby comes when baby wants ;o)
No-one can tell, you may go into labor tonight or you may go another 2 weeks.
