The baby probably isn't ready yet. Where I went to the hospital if you were 5cm dialated they would keep you and induce labor. you can be zero dilated and be in labor. As soon as your muscles start contracting you are in labor and have pains.
Yes, very likely. Some doctors will tell you that at 5cm, you are in labor. Wait for those regular contractions, then go in.
If this is 1st pregnancy, you have awhile yet. If not your first, almost.
I would not wait around to find out....get to a hospital. Only an OBGYN can tell this while you are in labor.
5cm*5cm*5cm = 125 cubic cm.
The volume of a cube of 5cm is: 125 cm3
5cm to the 3rd power = 5cm x 5cm x 5cm = 125cm3 (or 125 cubic centimeters)
9cm + 5cm + 9cm + 5cm = 28cm
125 cm3
5cm, 5cm, and 5cm could represent the lengths of the sides of an equilateral triangle, or might indicate the length, width, and height of a cube.
Volume = 5cm*5cm*5cm = 125 cm3
5cm * 5cm * 10cm = 250 cm3
By the time you have read this I bet you have delivered your baby, you probably had it within 2 hours of writing the question. --------------- I am 40 weeks, 5 cm dilated and 75% effaced - have been since last Friday (it's now Monday). I say that your baby will come when he/she is good and ready, and not a moment earlier. I know it can be frustrating, but your child knows when he is supposed to great the world. If your doctor thinks that anything is wrong, they will likely induce you between 41-42 weeks. I recomend you try to just have your water broken first, and if that doesn't get things moving go on to pitocin or some such Intravenous (IV) inducer. Good luck my dear!
