Q: Dilating Question!

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?

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.
