A woman who is 8 centimeters dilated has 2 centimeters left to go.
you have your baby when you are ten centimeters dialated so your nearly 2 depending on how quick your contractions come you could have hours yet ....
you can be dilated for months before you actually go into labor.
There's really no way to tell. You can be slightly dilated for weeks before going into true labor. On the other hand, you might not be dilated at all and then go into labor closer to your due date. It's oddly not a very reliable way of telling when you'll deliver, until you are in active 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
just think about it... seriously. five centimeters is five centimeters. you really had to go on wiki answers to figure that out. wow... just, wow...
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 really doubt that there is anyone examining the size of your pupils before allowing you to step onto the ice. If you were ice skating at night, you would have naturally dilated pupils. So yes, you can skate with dilated pupils.
Walking!
If you are in alot of pain, you should go to the hospital right now. Good luck and God Bless:)
== == 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.
When your contractions are five minutes apart.
Yes, thymol can result in dilated and fixed pupils which could then be damaging to the eye if you go to the area of increased sun exposure. This mostly occurs in overdose of thymol.
