I was at 1cm for awhile with my 1st... I sat at 3cm with my last for 2 weeks.

I was at a 3 for 3 1/2 weeks until I was induced 4 days before my due date (preeclampsia)

You can be at 1 for a long time and since you’re still early, you probably will be. BUT do listen to your body and pack a bag for good measure. I was at 3cm for a whole week- I went to the hospital a few times because I was having a lot of contractions, but got sent home, then my water broke- at exactly 39 weeks. When that happens, no matter how early you are, you go to the hospital as soon as possible.

I was at a 1 for 3 weeks.

Are you thinned out at all? & it’s true that mucus plugs can regenerate! Just because you’re dilated doesn’t mean you’ll progress quickly. I was 2cm & 80% effaced at 35 weeks and I was having contractions but did not progress at all. I was induced at 36 weeks because I was high risk though.

Your mucous plug can regenerate itself. You can walk around 4cm dilated for weeks or you can go from 1-10 in 4 hours. There’s really no telling how fast you’ll dilate. But try to be patient and let baby cook a few more weeks ♥️
