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

If you had true labor contractions last night and they stopped will they be back soon?

True labor will not usually stop. Labor that stops is, by definition, false labor. False labor is common, especially in a second or third (or fourth, etc.) pregnancy. These contractions, however, are useful in that they help prepare the cervix for labor by softening it, thinning it out, and dilating it. First time moms often begin labor with a long, closed and thick cervix; women who've had a baby before will usually have a softened, somewhat dilated cervix when they start. It's hard to predict when any woman will go into labor. Contractions may be off and on for days before real labor begins. Eat, stay hydrated, and get as much rest as you can until it does.

What happens to the cervix during the first stage of labor?

Answer: During the first stage of labor, the cervix will start to thin out (also called efface) and open up (also called dilate). The first stage of labor can take a couple of hours or a couple of weeks (I was in my first stage of labor with my daughter for 2 weeks). Most women usually stay at home during this stage as it is not the "active" stage of labor. The active stage of labor is stage 2. During this stage your cervix will continue to efface and dilate at a much more rapid pace. This ends with the birth of your baby. Then comes stage 3, also know as the after-birth stage. This is when you push out the placenta, which is what protected the baby for 9 months and held the fluids.
