You can be 1cm for a while. Some women have gone months. First you need to realize how far along you are anyway. If you are not 40 weeks yet then it is likely that you wont go into labor any time soon. Also be aware that you can go over 40 weeks. Some women have went up to 44+ weeks. You should contact your doctor/Midwife with any questions.

If your having painless contractions and are 1 centimeter dilated are you in labor?

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.


What stage of labor lasts from four to twenty-four hours and includes strong uterine contractions that cause the cervix to open and may rupture the amniotic sac?

The first stage of labor, specifically the active phase, typically lasts from four to twenty-four hours. During this stage, the cervix dilates from 6 to 10 centimeters through strong and regular contractions. This stage ends when the cervix is fully dilated.


How much do you need to be dilated for your membranes to be sweeped?

Typically, a woman needs to be at least 1-2 centimeters dilated for her membranes to be swept. This process involves the healthcare provider inserting a gloved finger into the cervix to separate the amniotic sac from the uterine wall, which may help induce labor.


If you are 35 weeks pregnant and 2cm dilated and about 50 effaced will walking and going up and downstairs help you go in to labor?

Walking and going up and down stairs can help with regular contractions and promote optimal positioning of the baby for labor, but they may not necessarily induce labor if your body is not ready. It's important to listen to your body and consult with your healthcare provider before engaging in any activities to try to induce labor.


Your doctor says your cervixs is 2 centimeters open and 1 centimeter shortened you are almost 36 weeks does that mean ill deliver really soon?

No - not at all. You will begin to dilate around 36 weeks and you can go 6 weeks without dilating any further. Most women are 1-2 cm dilated for the last weeks of their pregnancy. I really don't know why the doctors tell you this - it just means you worry. If you get to 4cm dilated it probably means you will go into labour soon.

What does it mean if you are 37 weeks pregnant and your midwife syas your cervix is soft?

When your midwife tells you that it means that your cervix is beginning to ripen and possibly efface and dilate. Currently im 1 cm dilated 60% effaced and have been in labor but not "active labor" for the past week. My cervix isn''t dilating so they dont consider that "active labor".

How soon can I go into active labor being 36 weeks and 3 days 2 centimeters dilated and 50 effaced?

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.

You are 30 weeks 4days pregnant you are 1cm dilated and 50faced with cervical funneling the baby is -1 station Will you have your baby soon?

Depends.. If this is not your first child. My doctor told me you would be already a Centimeter Dilated, bur if this is your first they would most likely have you come in to be monitored to make sure your labor do not convert to active labor because the baby is still premature.. If the cervix tend to dilate more, they will hospitalize you and to give you medicine to stop contracting.... They will try to hold the baby for at least 7 or 8 more weeks.. If there is an infection or internal issues and with the pregnancy, they will induce the labor

If you are 38 weeks pregnant 1 cm dilated and 90 effaced At your last Dr apt you were 1 cm dilated and 50 effaced how soon should it be before you go into labor?

== == 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.


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!


If you are 90 effaced 3 cm dilated and the baby is at a positive 1 station how long until active labor starts Is there a way to hold it off?

Could be hours to days to weeks. Everyone is different. You will probably start active labor within 24 hours. There is no stopping labor at this point.
