I had weeks of prodromal labor before, but it was that last check which sent me in to labor. I showed up at the hospital actively contracting and at a 6 about 8 hours later. raintreebee on "Most dialated you've heard at a check?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-dialated-youve-heard-at-a-check#post-2396310 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 20:51:07 +0000 raintreebee 2396310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Kind of a counter example. I was not dilated at all. Then went into labor the next day. Had my son in under three hours. lemondrop on "Most dialated you've heard at a check?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-dialated-youve-heard-at-a-check#post-2396296 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 20:20:42 +0000 lemondrop 2396296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @travellingbee: I think it was early labor by that point, I was having decent contractions on the monitor, but nothing really bad while still in triage. That said, in the two weeks prior, I had some insane contractions that would drop me to my knees, but no regular patterns. I was a hot mess for the two weeks prior! I had been walking and super active to get him out since my maternity leave was dwindling down, but nothing happened until I was stuck laying still in that triage bed for 3 hours! travellingbee on "Most dialated you've heard at a check?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-dialated-youve-heard-at-a-check#post-2396280 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 20:05:11 +0000 travellingbee 2396280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @lemondrop: wow you were a 7 and not in labor?! lemondrop on "Most dialated you've heard at a check?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-dialated-youve-heard-at-a-check#post-2396275 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 20:00:33 +0000 lemondrop 2396275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I was 4-5 cm for about a week. It suuuuuucked! Went to triage for high BP in my due date and was at a 7 and not feeling much yet. They gave me an epidural, broke my water, and he was out in under an hour.

I had been having unpainful contractions for at least a week and they continued until 39 weeks 4 days when active labor started. I don't know how far dilated I was when active labor started because it took me three hours after the contractions became painful for me to finally convince myself to go to the hospital. I was 9cm, 100% effaced when I finally got to the hospital. Baby was born less than four hours after I was checked in but I had to push for over two hours and he was posterior so we ultimately had to use a vacuum to get him out. winniebee on "Most dialated you've heard at a check?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-dialated-youve-heard-at-a-check#post-2396217 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 18:51:19 +0000 winniebee 2396217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I was 4 and 80% with my first before active labor started...

She's pregnant with twins and went into premature labor at 28 weeks but had been on bedrest travellingbee on "Most dialated you've heard at a check?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-dialated-youve-heard-at-a-check#post-2396082 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 16:28:57 +0000 travellingbee 2396082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ A girl I work with was 5cm for 3 weeks. Personally I've never been more than 1.5cm and 70% effaced before labor but I go for a 38 week check tomorrow so we'll see if I've progressed. Last pregnancy I was 1cm and 50% effaced the day I went into labor.

Once she did go into labor though it was super super fast. coopsmama on "Most dialated you've heard at a check?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-dialated-youve-heard-at-a-check#post-2395896 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 14:37:37 +0000 coopsmama 2395896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I was 4cm before labor started. Less than 4 hours from start to finish! It was definitely quick. My midwife told me she had a patient dilated to *7* but still not in labor. It was quick when it happened - just had to get through transition! mfa_lady on "Most dialated you've heard at a check?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-dialated-youve-heard-at-a-check#post-2395895 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 14:37:36 +0000 mfa_lady 2395895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My cousin was 4cm dilated from about 36 weeks on.

Contractions started at 38w. After a couple hours of contractions I was at 7cm. They broke my water and I delivered DS 45 min later! I was told to go to the hospital right away as well. I still had a couple hours tho before things started ramping up LuLu Mom on "Most dialated you've heard at a check?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-dialated-youve-heard-at-a-check#post-2395870 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 14:21:07 +0000 LuLu Mom 2395870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm always interested to hear this response. My friend is 36 weeks and she got checked and the doctor told her she is 4 cm dilated and 100% effaced but not in labor! She said as soon as she has her first contraction she needs to book it to the hospital because she will most likely go fast! What is the most progress you've heard?
