== == 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.
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.
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.
CASTOR OIL CAUSES CRAMPS DIAHRRHEA AND DEHYDRATION...I WAS TOLD NOT TO USE IT...YOU SHOULD CHECK WITH A DOCTOR ABOUT USING IT FIRST...HOWEVER IVE HEARD THAT PRIMROSE OIL PILLS INSERTED INTO VAGINA HELP THE THINNING AND DIALATION...HOPE THAT HELPS IM 2CM 80% EFFACED AND COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS GOOD LUCK!!
Dilated cardiomyopathy means that the heart is not pumping blood as it should be, resulting in symptoms such as fatigue and weakness, shortness of breath and swelling of the abdomen.
no, I am 37w 2 days and I'm 80% effaced and 1 cm and they don't think I'll go into actually labor for at least another week if not more. your contractions are just getting your cervix ready for actual labor.
You should not insert anything inside your vagina when your cervix is dilated. Stimulation of the clitoris is O.K., though! (And orgasm good for encouraging labor!) Enjoy!
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

You should be seeking advice from an expert in this matter.
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 :(
Sorry, it is impossible to determine when the spontaneous onset of labor will occur. The norm is the span of time between 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after the given due date. Every pregnancy is different, therefore one woman may go into labor with minimal evidence of cervical change while another woman might be very dilated and effaced for weeks before her labor begins. Pregnancy is our first lesson in patience as parents.
