I hate to say it, but I was there with DD#2 for over two weeks. And I've had contractions 15 minutes apart for over a month (at 2cm, not sure about effaced). I was treated for PTL this time around but I was having contractions 3-5 minutes apart at 32 weeks. It could be tonight or it could be weeks and weeks.
I'm sorry. Unfortunatlly I am in this boat. I am 2CM, but want to keep LO in for a Little while longer. With my DD I was walking around 3CM and 90effaced from 35 to 37 weeks. They usually don't keep you until you start to progress with your contractions. If you went from 2-3 while you were in the hospital they may have kept you. Why don't you have some sex? That could stir up the pot!
Mine slowed down from 3 min apart to 6-7 minutes apart and I was 3 cm 60% effaced and I got sent home! So same boat as you. Now it's just a waiting game.
Re: 80 percent effaced 2 cm dilated
I don't want to discourage you but I was 60% effaced and 2 cm dilated two Mondays ago and then this Monday 80% effaced and 3 cm dilated.
Hang in there.
darn. maybe you should hope for some contractions?
I was in the same boat for 4 weeks. Good times.

I agree. Demand to be admitted or else your baby will be born at home!
With DD I was dialated to a 3 and 90% effaced for a few weeks. Sorry.
