You are 35 weeks pregnant 80 percent effaced and 2.70 cms dilated is labor far away for you?
35 weeks is a bit early, at least 3 weeks early as normal gestation is 38-42 weeks, but the baby still has a good chance of survival at this stage. He may need breathing tubes after delivery because this is when the lungs are developing so that he can breathe when he is born, but the success rate is actually very high (at least it is in the US), especially considering there aren't any (or many) other high risk factors involved.
Three centimeters isn't much, considering that you need to reach 10 cm for a vaginal delivery. Seven centimeters is a long way to go!
Effacing is the thickness (or thinness) of the cervix. 100% is paper-thin. If you are a first-time mom, the cervix will usually efface before it dilates. Subsequent births will usually dilate before it effaces. Dilation must catch up to effacement before vaginal delivery can occur properly.
So, if you are a first time mom, you probably still have a way to go. New mothers usually have a relatively long labor along with fairly quick delivery. Subsequent births, probably still have a way to go, but it may also come quicker. Previous mothers usually have a faster labor along with a fairly quick delivery. In any case, if the delivery is not at the right speed for the mother and baby, a caesarian may be necessary.
The thing to look for here is any labor pains (ie contractions) or your water breaking (even if you feel no contractions). Don't get frightened if you feel contractions slowly. You are looking for 5 minutes apart, lasting about 1 minute each, and that is when the doctor will tell you to head to the hospital (earlier if you have quite a distance to travel to get to the hospital). When they are close to this and regular, but not quite there, that is also a good time to call the doctor and/or head to the hospital.
However, if your water breaks and you feel no contractions, you need to get to the hospital right away. A delivery needs to happen within 24 hours of water breaking to avoid injuries and infections (sometimes devastating ones) to the baby. If labor doesn't progress as it should, pitocin may be administered to help speed contractions and dilation along. If that doesn't work, a caesarian may be in order.
What else can I help you with?
What if I am 50 percent effaced and 30 weeks pregnant can they stop labor?
Yes, they will give you a large dose of magnesium which works as a muscle relaxer to stop your labor, then they will give you a smaller continuous dose to prevent you from going back into labor. I was 30 weeks pregnant, 3cm dilated and 80% effaced and they were very successful in stopping my labor.
If you are dilated or effaced will sex make you go into labor?
You shouldn't be having sex when you are dilated and or after 9 months pregnant. It could be dangerous to the unborn child. As for your question, It probably could bring on labor.
How effaced and dilated are you usually when you go into 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!

I am 3Cms dilated 90 percent effaced and baby is at 0 pelvic station.how soon could labor start?
Any moment now.
If you are 38 weeks pregnant 1 cm dilated and 90 effaced At your last Dr apt you were 1 cm dilated and 50 effaced how soon should it be before you go into labor?
== == Theoretically, as long as you are past the point where the fetus is viable, active labor can begin any time in any pregnancy, no matter how much you are dilated or effaced. This means you could go into active labor in four minutes, four days, four weeks, etc. There's really no way to tell.
Am 37weeks and 2 days dilated 2-3 and 60 percent effaced what to induce labor to have baby tonight?
Try walking. Not sure if it will work or not. That's what I have always heard
If I am 37 weeks pregnant and the baby hasn't dropped can I be dilated or effaced any?
You sure can. I'm 37 weeks, my baby hasn't dropped a bit either. But my doc did tell me I am 1 cm dialated and 50% effaced. She thinks I will have a long labor. It is my first.
Will labor be soon if you are 90 percent thinned?
Not necessarily. It's the dilation that is important, just as much as effacement. You will need to be 100% effaced plus 10 cm dilated in order to give birth.
If you are almost 37 weeks and 2Cm and 80 percent effaced does it mean labor will come soon?
Being 37 weeks pregnant, 2 cm dilated, and 80% effaced indicates that your body is preparing for labor, but it doesn't guarantee that labor will start imminently. Some women may remain in this state for days or even weeks before labor begins, while others may go into labor soon after these changes occur. It's important to monitor your symptoms and communicate with your healthcare provider about any concerns.
How far away is labor if you are 2 cm dilated 75 percent effaced and 0 stationed?
Labor can be unpredictable, even at certain dilation and effacement measurements. Being 2 cm dilated, 75% effaced, and at a zero station indicates that your body is preparing for labor, but it's difficult to determine exactly how far away labor is. Some women may progress quickly from this point, while others may take longer. It's best to stay in close contact with your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.
If you are 38 weeks with first pregnancy contractions 3 minutes apart lasting 70 seconds and dilated at a 2 with 80 effaced will labor come soon after having two cervatals?
If your contractions are three min. apart then you probably already are in labor especially if you are already dilated and 80% effaced. If the contractions aren't regular then you aren't in labor but if it turns out that your not then you will most likely be going into labor really soon.
