I’m 37 weeks and 2cm dilated. How long until labor starts?

- Once you're 36 or 37 weeks along, your OB provider will likely begin checking your cervix at your prenatal appointments to see if there's any progression or change as the pregnancy gets closer to the end. And ideally, in the days to weeks leading up to the delivery of the baby, the cervix will begin to "ripen" (that's an actual medical term that we use), and it's caused by the release of hormones called prostaglandins that act on the cervix and cause it to thin out, move forward in the woman's pelvis, and actually soften in consistency, and the woman might actually dilate a little bit too. And then later on after the woman starts having regular and intense contractions, a ripe cervix should respond to those intense contractions by dilating or opening up. And the true definition of labor is cervical dilation from hour to hour.
So in other words, lets say that the ripening got your cervix to 1 1/2 centimeters, and then you start having regular and intense contractions, and you change from 1 1/2 to 2, to 2 1/2, to 3, to 4, to 5, to 6, to 7, and 8, and 9, and 10 - that's when you're in labor. But it's possible to have a lot of contractions and your cervix may not be changing as a result of those contractions, and you get sent home from the hospital. That's actually very normal too, and there's no way to know if your cervix is dilating as a result of your contractions without going in and being checked out. And it's never a wasted trip. You don't ever have to worry about taking "the walk of shame" (which I've heard a lot of people call it), because that trip helps you to know what's going on and gives you experience so you know when to come in again in the future.
So you had a specific question about your cervical exam when your doctor checked you, and you want to know how long it's going to be until labor starts. And really, no matter what your cervical exam is, whether you were 1 when the doctor checked you or whether you were 5, there really is no good way to tell. There are women who can walk around at 5 centimeters for weeks. And then there are women who are 1 centimeter in the doctor's office in the morning when they go for their appointment and they end up delivering their baby later that night. So really, the best sign of labor you have is regular and intense contractions, so if you are over 37 weeks and you begin contracting every 45 minutes, let it go on for about an hour or 2 as long as you're not having any vaginal bleeding, you're feeling your baby move in between contractions, and you don't feel like your water is broken. And then once you've been contracting that regularly for a couple of hours, then go to the hospital and see if your cervix is changing as a result of those contractions.
But there are reasons (independent of contractions) to go to the hospital like I alluded to before, so if you have any vaginal bleeding, if you feel like your water is broken, or you're not feeling your baby move as much as usual, those are all reasons to go in (in and of themselves), whether you're contracting or not. If you have any specific questions or concerns, it's always a good idea to call your doctor, because they can ask you more specific questions, get an idea for what's going on, and then determine if you need to be seen or not. Good luck with everything, and if you have more questions in the future for me, feel free to ask them on our Facebook page at / intermountainmoms , and recommend us to your friends and family too.

This video is so helpful for us. For future moms/parents it would be nice to have common symptoms based on the dilation chart.
I was 39+5 weeks, no dialation or effacement, yet my water broke. Was admitted. Always go and get checked!
Wish these platforms of info were available so easily when I was expecting my first child atleast now I can be readily prepared much better for my grandkids arrivals thanks to this wonderful information what a God send
i got checked at 35 weeks and dialated to 2 so they sent me to the hospital and it turned out i was just dehydrated so they gave me fluids and my contractions slowed down and now im 37 weeks and im still the same.
Got checked at 33 weeks and I was 1cm
Haven't changed at all since. I get checked again next week at 37 weeks
every time i call these doctors, they rush me off the phone...that's why i'm on youtube in the first place.
I'm 2cm, 3/5 palpable but no contractions this was before my sweep yesterday im now 39 weeks 2 days and no sign of anything did loose some mucus plug yesterday
bled and went to the hospital and they didn’t even checked if i was dilating
I’m 36 weeks, checked on 7.6.21 and determined 1 cm dilated … and have had no contractions yet
37 weeks tomor. 2cm 75% effaced. No contractions yet but lots of cervix pressure. (She could feel his head wiggling) and also a ton of pelvic pain. I hope this isn't something that'll drag out forever.
That’s how I am feeling right now. When did you go into labor?
I’m 33 weeks and I’m ready!
Your a week ahead of me I’m 36 weeks congratulations
I had my cervix checked at 35 weeks and it didn’t hurt at all. Everybody is different.
I’m 35+4 today and it was so painful! You are lucky!
@Chasity Armstrong Ugh oh my God, I had my doctor switched the last WEEK of my pregnancy. My original doctor was so gentle, it hurt but I could bear, the new doctor- I literally crawled up the table in pain. It hurt SO bad. I couldn’t believe it. Mind you I was 39+5 weeks at that point
Omg you're lucky
Sometimes it depends on the doctor! I had one doctor who checked and it was totally fine and they had their superior confirm their findings ( they were training, usually worked with early pregnancy and needed a refresher) and the other doctor hurt so freaking bad!
Mine didn't hurt either the strep b swab is a whole different story tho😖😬
I'm 2cm dilated last April 17 but I'm not felling labor until now how long I wait for my delivery? I'm so exited to see my baby.
I'm 38 weeks today, when i was on 37 weeks i was 1cm and now i dont know what cm am i.
37 weeks now, doctor checked and said I haven't dialated yet but my cervix is thinning 💗 pretty soon my little one arrives
Hi Carla, I'm 37wks tomorrow with my 4th daughter and this past Monday my Dr said I'm dialated 1-2 but I'm not due until August 4th💖
@@tifflovemyfamily2160 Ooh hunny pretty soon!! I'm due at the end of July 😄❤
Same!!
At 35 weeks appointment, my doctor just listened to heartbeat,and measured my belly
I'm 2 cm dilated and have back pain and stomach tightening ad little pain and thighs pain when will be the labour pain and when will I dilate from 2 cm I have white discharge...before few days I saw white discharge with little red colour
35 weeks 4cm 80% effaced and negative 2 stationed and was just sent home too 🤷🏽♀️
Shakayla Saffold pissed me off
No hospital keep you when u are 4cm unless your baby is premie
I have check up yesterday im 37weeks pregnant the doctor said my cervix is not open yet. So we need t excercise walking every morning.
I’m 36 weeks 2.5 cm dilated 80% effaced baby is positioned at +1
I have contractions during my NSTs but I can’t feel them lol.
I was 3cm yesterday at my doctors appointment
Now 38 weeks 1 day and I’m dilated at 2cm. Second baby...
How long did it take you to dilate?
So glad my doctor isn't constantly doing pelvic exams. Everything is so sore down there. Honestly, they don't need to constantly poke at your already overworked lady parts. You'll know when you're in labor. Such useless discomfort
I’m not sore at all, and I don’t mind Pelvic exams. They do not hurt, I guess everyone’s body is defferent.
I agree
I agree with this! What’s the point in it!?!
@@katiacastro9472 depends on a doctor, my first was rough and every exam was painful but the second one is gentle
Can I have your hair? lol It's so nice
You can say NO!!
Love this girl
Which one s cosidered in week LMP or ultrasound age
Mam I am 2 cm dilated and I am in 39th week, my Dr. Is advising me to get admitted but I don't have any pain till now , have contraction lil bit at night which stays for 1 -2 mins only , I want to go for normal delivery, what should i do ? please suggest me
Ugh I was 36 weeks when I had random contractions every other day and they were picked up by NST. It dilated me to 1cm and the end of week it made the baby drop. Few days later I went in labor. Took a week from first contractions starting. Somewhere there I got CoVID and ran fever 1 time end of the week and then bad night of fevers the night before the morning I went in labor :( At least I made it to term, as 36 weeks was considered preterm, when it started. Such a weird experience. Take care and keep CoVID away.
35 weeks 4 days - 3cm dilated and 70% effaced 😭 how long until I’m going into labor. I’m having small contractions. I got checked today and they definitely said I’m contracting. They said I could go home though. Doctor also said baby is okay and healthy to come out at anytime 😍 i was given the steroids weeks ago for lung development.
This literally just happened to me!!! 35wks and 5 days- I was contracting for over 24 hrs so I went to hospital. Got checked and was a 1cm. They gave me steroids for babys lungs then checked me an hour later and I was a 2cm. I went to labor and delivery and dilated to a 3 1/2cm. Then dilation stopped but they kept me for 2 days bc I kept contracting and they wanted to give me another steroid shot. I’m now home on bed rest bc I’m also a high risk pregnancy.
Same happen with me
When the daiting is 7cm,for about 4days now ,what should the doctor do
No one tells you how the doctor checks if you’re dilating! I’m traumatized from this experience 😭
Monique Matus LMAO! Girl me too 😂 I’m 36 weeks and 1cm dilated
Monique Matus lmao I looked it up to prepare myself! 😂 but every time I went to the doctor they never checked to see if I had dilated . They told I was gonna get check since I was 35 weeks and in 39 weeks now and I still don't know if I have dilated.
Tamara Parreno oh wow I can’t believe they didn’t check you..maybe they forgot 🤷🏽♀️lol. You’re very close to being due so just watch the contractions & good luck you got this girl 🙌🏽🤘🏽
Monique Matus me too! I just got my first one done and I don’t want to go back. It’s horrible it’s 2018 there has to be another way for them to check 😩
It's very traumatic.
35 weeks 2cm -1 station 70% effaced
First pregnancy
Wondering how long I'll last?!
How long did you go with your pregnancy?
I am 37 weeks baby is still breech.. I have a scheduled c- section now..
my condolences
I'm 39 weeks pregnant and 2cm dilated and 50%
almost 38 weeks and my doctor has yet to check me
It is possible that am in 1-2cm but still my baby's head is floating?
I had mines check and even sweep at 37 weeks and I was dilated 2 1/2 cm no sign of labor yet
When did you end up giving birth?
I don’t want them checking me for dialation I’m 35 weeks 4 days today. But nope not me I’ll pass on that. Been there done that all for them to say “no dialation yet”
I was 2cm and 50% at 33 weeks pregnant. I’ve been having regular contractions, feel like my baby is engaging more in my pelvis because I feel like she’s right there, I seem to have so much pressure and it feels like I have to poop. I’ll be 35 weeks in 2 days. I had my first one at 36 weeks because she broke my water. That delivery and labor was so easy. This one is hell because I don’t know what’s going on and I don’t want to end up having this baby in the car. Sigh!
At how many weeks did she come hope u had a safe delivery
Sis 1 cm was diluted same 33weeks will u pls say any tips to wait for 36weeks
I'm 37 weeks and I'm 1 in a hafe dilated I with I was more
Thanks for the video! 😊👍🏻
I am in my 37th week of pregnancy
I was dilated yesterday since my 1cm havent progressed yet
I was just confused, why my OB didn't explain to me first before doing that during my IE and insertion of 3 primrose oil. She just told me you're now on 2cm and a half and might experience bleeding. She didn't told me what she did. It has been more than 36 hours now and I'm still seeing blood spots after having a lot of blood yesterday and intense contractions evee hour or 30 minutes.

Hi
Then how many time it will take your baby come in the world . Actually I am same in this condition
Same experience..
I’m 39 weeks 2 days ,2cm 🔥🔥
How long was it after that point did you go into labor if you don’t mind me asking?
@@aminadanielle925 I’m 2cm at 36 weeks, hoping he comes soon
@@Azayla106 I was 1/4 of a cm dilated at 36, then 1 cm by 40. She came the day after my due date. And it happened SO fast. Was terrifying but she’s healthy and happy and everything went smoothly💕🥰
36w6d was 1-2cm and 80-90 effaced
There's so medical reason to check your cervix. Just make the woman worry about something that doesn't even matter. Ladies don't even knownits not necessary. Why would my doctor check me every week? No reason sorry.
I’m 2cm and I’m 39 weeks 😨
My ob haven’t check my cervix at all I’m now 39 weeks
I’m 37 week n my doctor didn’t check me when I went on Monday.
Cervical checks aren’t really medically necessary though are they?
Not really but it’s a good way to tell if your in labor and progressing. But it’s your body and you have the right to refuse an exam
Let them folks do their job. Y'all wasn't complaining about being uncomfortable when y'all was laying on y'all backs. Or that man was eating And poking in y'all cats. 🥴
@@lisahouse5451 LOL- true … just because it’s a job doesn’t mean it’s necessary
@@lisahouse5451 what a gross comment.
36w 4days 2.5 centimeter as of today
Crystal
I definitely typed 27weeks 2cm dilated... anywho how bad is this??
At which week delivery happened
What's the difference between vaginal bleeding and normal "bloody show" during labor?
Christie Anderson bloody show is tangled within mucus. And it’s not a lot of blood it’s a small amount. (I had bloody show)
Vaginal bleeding is more than a bloody show / mucus plug.
(Not a Doctor) this is from experience. I had both bloody show and vaginal bleeding
That’s what happened to me 7 month ago but I was 3cm by 37 week
rawyah bader that's awesome! what week dis you have your baby 👶?
I will be 37 weeks on Saturday Im so ready to go to my doctor apt and see if I'm dilated
Arabella Lor how did your labor go?
33 weeks tomorrow woohoo come on baby :)
Me to
On my 37th week, i asked for a cervix check and they said I dont need it 🙄 i thought this is a routine? Is there any reason why my request was turned down?
Could be that they didn’t want to cause you to bleed or go into labor before baby is ready… idk, sometimes the exam can do that.
@@jessicamariche3999 hi there! Just an update I gave birth 40wks 4 days overdue to a whopping 4.03kg baby boy. I had a sweep at 40 wks, that was the only time I had a check. Problem is I ended up having placental abruption and it was a traumatic birth experience (emergency C section and massive bloodloss) my cervix had problem dilating despite regular contractions so they had to do an emergency C section to save me and bubba. I just wish it could have been prevented :(
2 cm 1/2 dilated and 50% effaced!! At 36 weeks 😁😁😁
I’m 2cm and 30% and 36weeks too. When are you due?
@@mechelled1545 May 9th
Well what the fluff... my dr doesn’t check my vagina to see my dilation lol but at 34 weeks my dr told me I was 4 cm ... apparently they know from this certain stick I gotta pee on every visit I go too lol...
Christine Jolene lol this was too funny 😂
Ka Ri Na jada? Lol
Y'all complaining about cervical checks being uncomfortable. But wasn't complaining when y'all were getting y'all back beat in. And having that man eating and playing in that kitty cat. 🥴
