in 3rd Trimester
Im 36+3days with my second child. With my first i was only a 1/2 cm dilated the week before due date. (I was then induced for med reasons) so im not really sure about dilating on my own. Doc seemed surprised i was already 1 & 1/2 cm dilated with almost a month left! In your experience is she coming a little early?? Or am i gonna walk around for another month like this?

    No one knows. The degree of dilation means nothing. You can walk around at 4 cm for a month or you could go from two to nine in an afternoon. Every labor progresses differently.

    With my first I was 2 cm dialated for almost two months.  It's really not an indication, it could happen over night or it could go over due.

    I was 1.5 at 36 weeks and 2.5 at 38 weeks. I was also 80% effaced. I'm now 39 weeks and I haven't been checked. So like everyone said it really doesn't mean anything.

    With my first I was starting to dilate at 36 weeks and still went past my due date. It means nothing. You can be dilated for several weeks before going into labor.

    I'm 1 cm dilated and have been since about 24 weeks.. My Dr said it can be normal for 2nd pregnancies to be slightly dilated the whole pregnancy and doesn't mean you'll go early at all !
