Depends. If you have a very straightforward, low risk pregnancy and are not group b strep positive, your baby's heart rate is normal and he/she is active, and there are no other concerns the general rule is:
If you are a first time mom (primipara) you should be 3-4 cm with regular, strong contractions. If you have delivered vaginally before you are usually admitted if you are 4-5 cm with regular strong contractions.

What does a labor and delivery nurse do?
== == The labor and delivery nurse is responsible for interpreting the fetal heart rate, cervical change, and the status of the patient. We are responsible for initiiating inductions, assisting the laboring patient with pain control or helping those who chose to labor unmedicated. Once the patient is completely dilated we begin the pushing process, and call for the physician once the baby is ready to be delivered. The labor and delivery nurse is the main caretaker of the patient and baby until the moment of delivery at which point the doctor arrives. Labor and delivery nurses assist with cesarean sections, as well as fetal demise. Labor and delivery nurses do a lot more than fetch juice and water.

The baby probably isn't ready yet. Where I went to the hospital if you were 5cm dialated they would keep you and induce labor. you can be zero dilated and be in labor. As soon as your muscles start contracting you are in labor and have pains.
