Re: 1 cm Dilation - How long until baby comes?

Your dr is right to give a wide time frame. With my 1st pg I was dilated 1 cm & almost 50% effaced 4 weeks before my due date. My baby wasn't born until 2 1/2 weeks after my DUE DATE. So ... I was dilated 1 cm at least 6 1/2 weeks before he was born!!!

I didn't allow the dr to check me internally with my 2nd & 3rd pregnancies since it didn't really seem to matter to me how far along I was & to reduce the chance of infection & I won't allow it this time either.

But the point is that you really can't tell when you're going to go into labor when you're told you're 1 cm dilated.
