What does it mean if you are pregnant and almost 3 cm dilated?

It means you will probably go into labor soon. I've heard of women being dilated 3cm and not going into labor for weeks. As a reference, you must be dilated to 10cm before the doctors or midwifes will allow you to push.


37 weeks and 5 days im fully thinned out and 1 centimeter dilated how soon will you go into labor?

It all depends on when the baby is ready. You can be thinned out and dilated for some time before labor truly begins.


How effaced and dilated are you usually when you go into labor?

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!


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 dilated 2 almost 3 haw can you go in labor faster?

Walking!


If you are dilated or effaced will sex make you go into labor?

You shouldn't be having sex when you are dilated and or after 9 months pregnant. It could be dangerous to the unborn child. As for your question, It probably could bring on 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 almost 37 weeks and your due date is May 13Th you went to the doctor today and he said you were dilated 2cm and that there was definitly a head down there how long before you go into labor?

Well, they told me the same thing. I didn't go into labor until two weeks later. It just depends on how well YOUR labor goes.


You are 38 weeks and im dilated 3cm and you got your membranes stripped but you didnt go in to labor and then 2 days later your mucus plug came out how long do you think i have to go before going in?

When your contractions are five minutes apart.


If you have lost mucous plug and you are dilated 5cm is labor near?

Yes, very likely. Some doctors will tell you that at 5cm, you are in labor. Wait for those regular contractions, then go in.


Are you in labor if you are 1cm dilated and have lots of back pain?

Yes, however, on tv you have a contraction & you go to the hospital & the baby is born. With all of my babies, i had back pain & contractions for weeks before they were so painful i could not stand it (active labor- 4 to 8 cm dilated). So if the pain is not bothering you, you are probably having contractions & your body is gearing up to go into heavy, active labor soon!


When a women is dilated 9 cm the most appropriate pain relief intervention to precipitate labor is to?

Go to the hospital, doctors know what to do
