Hey yall, I'm 37 weeks prego and yesterday
my doctor told me that I am 1 centimeter
dilated. I am due August 20th, but doc
told me that she could be here at any
time! Probably sooner than expected since
I am already dilating! But I have done
some research on the net and it looks as
though a lot of women dilate earlier than
their due date. Doc even told me that if I
happen to be at 2 centimeters next week
they may even induce. What about yall? Is
it a common thing to dilate 3 weeks before
due date? Thanks!

I was checked at 34 weeks and I was
dilated to 1.5 already. It really doesn't
matter. Effacement is almost more
important anyways. Do you know what you
are effaced too?

dilated to a one, or two for 3 weeks

I was dilated to a 2 for over a month!
Doctor told me the same thing - he said,
"Anytime!" My daughter was a week+
overdue.
