I never got checked so I'm not sure how dilated I already was when my contractions started but be sure to time them when they do start! Everyone is different but my contractions started at 5:30 in the morning and when I got to the hospital at about 8:30 I was 4 to 5 cm dilated and 2 hours later I was already 10 cm and ready to push.

I went from a 1 to a 3 in four weeks and I want from a 3 to a ten during active labor in 3 hours

@babybunn yeah u should try to walk every day not long walks but yeah my mom will have me walking like 20 minutes or so & i had my appointment on December 30 i was already 4cm had my babys the next day 😊

it's good to go slower I think. then u don't rip as bad. and trust me the ripping hurts 😬

@reyesmomma, wow okay that's crazy. I hope mine go quickly lol

@jackie123, lol I haven't tried walking yet but maybe I will with the hubby this weekend.

@babybunn everyone is different some people can stay at 1cm or 2 or 3cm for WEEKS others just days or hours. i was at 0cm then a week later went to 2cm. then 2 days later I had my baby

Im not sure like in a week i used to walk a lot that helps even though i will get tired fast i will do sit-ups lol

@jackie123, how quickly did you go from 1cm to 3 and 4?

Mines starded when i was like 3 or 4 cm dilated !!!
