With LO2, I sat at 3 cm for a bit and was finally induced again. I don't think the dilation means much of anything by itself, pre-labor. yoursilverlining on "If you were dilated to 1cm by 37 weeks, when did you actually deliver?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-dilated-to-1cm-by-37-weeks-when-did-you-actually-deliver#post-1977720 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 20:38:46 +0000 yoursilverlining 1977720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I was a couple of Cm dilated and almost fully effaced by 37 weeks.

The reason I never had one, though, is because my midwives said that dilation is really no indication of when you'll go into labor. You could be 1 cm and go that night, you could be 3cm and go another 3 weeks. So in their opinion the only outcome of a cervical check is making women nervous that they'll go too soon or never at all. :) That being said, I was 1cm and 50% effaced at 40+1 and at 41+1 I was still 1cm and 50% effaced. pmrlady on "If you were dilated to 1cm by 37 weeks, when did you actually deliver?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-dilated-to-1cm-by-37-weeks-when-did-you-actually-deliver#post-1977705 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 20:21:46 +0000 pmrlady 1977705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Hello everyone, I had an appointment today at 36w5d and my OB said that my cervix is soft and 1cm dilated, but no effacement yet. I know that it doesn't really mean much and I could stay that way for a while but I'm wondering what others' experience has been. If you were starting to dilate by 37 weeks did you make it to your due date or did you deliver before? I also found out that she will be going on vacation for the holidays from the 25th to the 31st which will basically be my 39th week so I'm kind of nervous now that she won't be there if I go into labor :bummed: Thanks
