Thank you guys! I didn't know. Im so nervous. Does it hurt to get checked?

Yeah some women are none and some are more. When I was 36 weeks I was 1 1/2 cm and stayed that way til 38 now I'm only 2 cm.

you're not expected to be dialated. if you are that's great though. some women dialate sooner than others. effacement is how thin your cervix is. so dialated is how wide. efface is how thin.

I didn't dialate until I was 39 weeks but I was 80 percent efface since 37 weeka

there is no set amount to be dilated... I wasn't at all at 39 weeks I was still thick and closed
