You are already in the first stages of labor. It could become hard labor in a matter of minutes or days. Keep a close eye on things and get to the clinic or hospital (or call your doctor or midwife if you are having a home birth) as soon as thigns begin to change.

If Im 3 cm dilated and having back pain and hip pain how soon will labor happen?
Actually you are in the Latent phase of labor.
You are 4cm dilated how soon will the baby be here?
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 :(
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 does it mean if you are pregnant and almost 3 cm dilated?
It means you will probably go into labor soon. I've heard of women being dilated 3cm and not going into labor for weeks. As a reference, you must be dilated to 10cm before the doctors or midwifes will allow you to push.
You are 36 weeks and 3 days and dilated to 2 cm and bout 75 percent effaced how long till you have the baby?
The baby will be here by the time you and everyone else reads this answer!
Will you be put on bed rest if dilated 3 cm at 32 weeks?
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.
How soon before labor begins do you start to dilate and how much?
I am currently 32 weeks and am dialated almost 2 cm. I started to dialate at 29 weeks. My doc said I need to go another two weeks before I can have the baby safely. In Nevada, where I live, once you dialate to 4 cm, they automatically put you into the hospital to have the baby and will induce labor if need be. u can start dailating any time after 34weeks.it can be a long time be4 u actually go in labour.i had 5 kids and the ealiest i started dailate was at 36 weeks. I am going on 39 weeks and I am dilated to a 4 with my cervix 80% softened... I have been dilated for about 3 or 4 weeks now... Now I am just waiting on the contractions start... Hopefully it will be soon... it depends on each womans body and each pregnancy...#1-i was dilated from wk 35 to 37 on cm and had her at 38(with being at 4 cm at the hospital)..#2-no dilation until i went to the hospital(and i was 4 cm again)#3 absolutely no dilation until wk 37-then my water broke one day and i was 8 cm dilated when i got to the hospital...hth
You are 37 weeks and 4 days pregnant and one and a half cm dilated how much longer do you have?
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!
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.
How long does it take to go into labor if you are 37 weeks 4 cm dilated and fully effaced but baby hasn't dropped?
The baby can drop in labor. It is always not easy to distinguish when the baby drops. I have had 3 children and never knew when they dropped I only knew when labor kicked in.
If you are 1 cm dilated and 80 percent effaced how long until you go into labor?
I am also 1cm dilated and 80% effaced...1 week ago I was 1 cm dilated and 70% effaced. It is different for everyone...Although my DR. said the norm was 3 days after you lose your mucus plug...good luck
