so I just got back from the Dr and the Dr and I were both very surprised to find me 2cm dilated!
Does this mean LO will be coming earlier than expected?!
I have another appt in 10 days and she told me she hopes i dont go into labor before then.
Any advice would be helpful, this is my first pregnancy!
Re: 2 cm Dilated.... @ 35 weeks!?!
I was a fingertip dilated and 10-20% effaced at 32 weeks. Five weeks later, I am still a fingertip dilated and 10-20% effaced. I also have false labor every day, and do not expect this kid here until the last possible moment.
You can be at 2cm for weeks. Don't stress!

I was 1 cm at my 36 week appointment and 60% effaced. At my 38 week appointment I was 4 cm dilated and the doctor could touch the baby's head! I am still pregnant! You can walk around dilated and effaced for weeks before the baby comes.
That said, just look for the signs of labor and call your doctor if you suspect something is happening.
Effaced is how thinned out your cervix is.

OMG I LOVE this board and all the wonderful ladies on it, and I know how excited we ALL are about meeting our babies but..
NO ONE CAN PREDICT WHEN YOU'RE GOING INTO LABOR.
2cm at 35 weeks is incredibly common and you could go into pre term labor tomorrow or you could still be sitting at 2 cm or 3cm or 4cm at 6 weeks from now.
Not even DOCTORS can predict when you'll go into labor a bunch of women on a chat board certainly cant
sorry for ranting
I'm surprised doctor would just send you home!
This is me exactly. I haven't had any progress since 36 weeks. I've also been 60% effaced since 36 weeks.
This! I dont think it really means anything.
