October 2015 Moms

39 weeks +2 days

I'm 2cm dilated, 70% effaced....anyone know how long before I'll go into active labor?? I'm due the 20th of Oct.

Re: 39 weeks +2 days

  • I'm also due the 20th. I am just now 3 cm but hardly effaced. No one really knows until it happens. I think I will meet my baby this weekend but it's just a hunch and the Doc wouldn't give me any idea. I'm sure it will be soon for you. Good luck!

  • You could go into labor tonight or you could go into labor in a couple weeks. The amount you are dilated can stay the same for a few weeks.
  • If I don't have him by my due date (the 20th), doctor is going to first try sweeping my membranes....should put me into active labor hopefully and I can head to hospital.

    Sorry but as PP said. Could be tonight, could be after the EDD. A friend of mine was a 5 and 80% a full week before she went into labor!!
  • Dr said today, 39 weeks, I am 1 1/2 and only about 50%. But she can feel the head! She stimulated my cervix which was uncomfortable, hoping to stimulate hormone production. I wish there was a simple formula as I'm sure you do too, but I guess it's a flip of the coin. Dr said hopefully in the next week we will have more progress. Ugh I'm ready to be done! Good luck
