Your cervix must dilate (open up) to 10 centimeters before you can essentially, 'push' the baby out. So half a cm is good progress, though it seems a bit early at 29 weeks? 75% effaced: you have to be 100% effaced (thinned out) for the cervix to fully dilate & ready to deliver the baby. So you're just about finished there.

Does getting your eyes dilated by a doctor hurt?

ill tell you tomorrow im getting mine dilated!


If you are 4 cm dilated and 85 percent effaced and have starting having false labor how long until you go into true labor?

It totally depends! If you think you are going into labor, call your doctor or just go into the hospital. They will be able to tell you. I was 3 cm dilated for weeks and weeks! I got up to 70% effaced by 38 weeks. I went into labor and went into the hospital, however they sent me home because I didn't dilate past 3 cm in the entire hour I was there. 6 hours later I had my baby! So it happened very quickly for me. Pretty much RIGHT when I got home from my first trip to the hospital I started going into true and hard labor! Good Luck. :)


If I am 90 percent effaced and my doctor says I will not make another week how sure is he?

Probably pretty sure, because 90% is a lot. While there is the slim chance you could go over a week, most women will not.

It can be anywhere from an hour to a week. Call a doctor !


Can you ask the doctor to induce you at 38 weeks?

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.


Does labor start at 3 cm dilation?

No. I have been dilated to 3 cm for over a week now. I was at 4 cm when I was induced with my first. My doctor said that one lady came in dilated to 10 cm (that's completely dilated) and was not in labor yet. She had to be induced.


WHAT if you are between 2-3 cm dilated?

If you are between 2 and 3 centimeters dilated, you are very close to active labor. You should walk around and stay close to the doctor's office or hospital.
