Actually I was only a 4 30min before she was born. She came fast and furious 😋 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-dilated-were-you-before-labor-with-your-second-pregnancy#post-2348582 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 05:35:36 +0000 Corduroy 2348582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dialated very slowly with LO1 so I asked not to be checked for LO2. I didn't want to be focused on that number. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-dilated-were-you-before-labor-with-your-second-pregnancy#post-2348575 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 04:16:26 +0000 Charm54 2348575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1cm when I was checked at 40+1, 2cm when I went to the hospital in labour at 40+2.</p> <p>Things went very fast after that though; I went from 3-10 in 45 minutes! The Dr almost didn't make it in time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-dilated-were-you-before-labor-with-your-second-pregnancy#post-2348569 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 03:13:06 +0000 lamariniere 2348569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4cm two days before LO1 was born at 39+4. </p> <p>0cm one week before LO2 was born at 37+2.

I was at 2ish cm at 40 weeks too. (This practice wasn't big into doing cervical checks prior). And yeah, went in to be induced 10 days late, but was basically already in labor, and it went pretty fast still! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-dilated-were-you-before-labor-with-your-second-pregnancy#post-2348546 Sun, 08 Nov 2015 23:36:05 +0000 LAZB 2348546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was *maybe* 1 cm the day my water broke.
