If you are in alot of pain, you should go to the hospital right now. Good luck and God Bless:)
If your cervix is really 4cm dilated (not sure what the 80 is) at 34 weeks you should be at the hospital as your baby could be born anytime and at 34 weeks your baby will be pre-term and need extra support.
For how long? It could be nothing or it could be dangerous. You really need to get to the docs or hospital.
depending on the person and the number of pregnancies it could be hours to weeks.
You sure can. I'm 37 weeks, my baby hasn't dropped a bit either. But my doc did tell me I am 1 cm dialated and 50% effaced. She thinks I will have a long labor. It is my first.
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
It totally depends! If you think you are going into labor, call your doctor or just go into the hospital. They will be able to tell you. I was 3 cm dilated for weeks and weeks! I got up to 70% effaced by 38 weeks. I went into labor and went into the hospital, however they sent me home because I didn't dilate past 3 cm in the entire hour I was there. 6 hours later I had my baby! So it happened very quickly for me. Pretty much RIGHT when I got home from my first trip to the hospital I started going into true and hard labor! Good Luck. :)
== == 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.
a couple a weeks.
9 weeks
2 weeks
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 :(
i would say not long at all!!!!!!!!so hurry up and get to the hospital girl.... my water didnt break until i got ther and it was 2hr later my son was born.. are you having contractions?
