3cm and 70% effaced...How much longer?!

Im a STM, but my Labor pain started at 3 cm with my first... so this time when I went into to doctors today for my check up, and he told me I was 3cm and 70% effaced I was a little shocked, cause I have been having super irregular contractions, if any at all. Ive been super weak, and nauseous but thats it... He stripped me today saying I got a little head start on labor. But told me to go home and get in bed. cause of how weak ive been. But I want to have this baby, What can I do to change? My first labor was so much different. Any suggestions, or anyone know how long it takes to go from 3-4?

Re: 3cm and 70% effaced...How much longer?!
lurky loo here..
with DD2 I was 3cm and 90% at 37 weeks and that didn't change until I went into labor at 39w4d. Even then my water broke and I didn't start dilating more until 12 hours later, after lots of pitocin. The only things I would suggest would be sex and walking! GL. It sucks that you can sit at 3cm for weeks

I am 2 cm and 50% effaced. Unfortunately, we don't know when we will go into labor as this really means nothing. There is some progress, so I will take it!!
I plan on walking, having sex, and I might start doing my squats again.
I dont have any advice on how much longer but that is exciting that your progressing well. Im hoping to be really progressing too at my 38 week appointment tomorrow!
