Went to the doctors today. I'm 1 cm dilated!! Will the process start to speed up now that I'm…

I am a ftm but I have heard you can stay dialated for weeks without labor starting. Not sure though

Yeah I've heard that to. But I've had mild cramping lately and I got checked 2 days ago and I was completely closed & today I'm 1 cm, so I hope & pray that things will speed up lol @djsmommy0516

O okay well maybe it will be baby time soon

You can be dilated 1 cm for weeks it just depends if your body is ready I was 37 weeks and I wasnt dilated at all but 4 days later bam I was in labor at 10 cm it just depends

I turned 37 weeks today so hopefully. I'm just ready to meet my babygirl lol I'm just not ready for the pain @reaganmommy2015

No you can be dilated for weeks and it doesn't speed up labor or the time that you're in labor. I was dilated to 3cm and 85% effaced for 6 weeks before I even went into labor I was still in labor for 36+ hours

Well I only have 3 weeks left so I'm hoping she comes soon lol @thehowtohippie

It can happen when your in active labor like myself lol

You're in labor? @mommytoalara

@reaganmommy2015, that's good news for me! I'll be 38 weeks on Saturday. Last week I had an appt and wasn't dilated. Hopefully at my appt tomorrow I'll be dilated some

@kdsmith, fingers crossed
