So i have an appointment next week to see if im dilating & i was wondering if anyone knows how much you have to be dilated in order to be induced?
You can stay at 1, 2, or whatever for weeks. I dilated to 1cm at 30 weeks & was still there & almost to 2 at 37 weeks. They won't induce you unless there's a medical reasoning, doctors want the baby to stay in as long as possible & it's better that way anyway. You want the baby to be fully formed, the wait is long & hard but all worth it. Baby will come when it's all done & ready.
Usually you're not induced unless you reach 41 weeks, or if it's an emergency. Some OBs might offer of your cervix is in favor. Baby will come when they're ready.
im 39.5 weeks right now and was 1cm dialted this week at my appointment. They have me scheduled to be induced Tuesday night if he doesnt come out on his own before. My due date is Monday
