With my previous two children I started dilating at around 34-36 weeks, with my first I was still working up till 3 day before I had her, I ended up going two days over my due date. With the second baby, I had to get induced two week early due to the baby having several decels, but because I had already started to dilate I was able to start off with pitocin, instead of having cervadil to soften cervix, so from start to finish both my children were delivered in under 10 hours. Good Luck!
Don't mean to be a party pooper but with DS I was 2cm dilated and 50% effaced at 37w, 38w, 39w AND 40w. At 40w5d, after 12 hours of labor I was only 4cm!
