From 37 weeks on you could go into labor at any time. Well you can before that however it is more common after 37 weeks, well even more so is 38 weeks plus. Being 2cm dilated and 80% effaced can mean that labor will be soon however it can mean that you still have a while. My first was 36 weeks and 5 cm dilated and 50% effaced and stayed that way for 4 weeks and went over her EDD. I'm 37 weeks and my doctor does not even want to check because she said that it really does not make any difference.

1 cm dilated 80 percent effaced -1?

This means your cervix is open 1 cm (you need to dilate to 10 cms to birth the baby). Your cervix is 80% effaced which means it is getting very thin -- you need to be 100% effaced. -1 refers to where baby is in relation to the coccyx (tailbone or "spines"). There are "stations" for baby's position. To give birth, you need to be 10cms dilated, 100% effaced and baby needs to be at at least +2 station.


If you are 38 weeks pregnant 1 cm dilated and 90 effaced At your last Dr apt you were 1 cm dilated and 50 effaced how soon should it be before you go into labor?

== == Theoretically, as long as you are past the point where the fetus is viable, active labor can begin any time in any pregnancy, no matter how much you are dilated or effaced. This means you could go into active labor in four minutes, four days, four weeks, etc. There's really no way to tell.


You are 100 effaced and 1 cm dilated how much longer do you think it could be or can i do anything to speed up the process?

If the cervix is 100% effaced and one centimeter dilated, it means that the cervix is completely thinned out but dilation is not that much. The baby will come when he is ready, but some women walk or have sex in an attempt to bring on labor.


If you are dilated or effaced will sex make you go into labor?

You shouldn't be having sex when you are dilated and or after 9 months pregnant. It could be dangerous to the unborn child. As for your question, It probably could bring on labor.


1 cm dilated 100 percent effaced and baby is fully engaged How much longer do you have?

There is no way to accurately predict when you will have your baby


What does it mean if you are 50 percent effaced and not dilated?

50% is out of 100% which means your cervix is paper thin. Once your cervix is dialated to 10cm & your 100% effaced baby is ready to be born. How long it could be in this position, depends on your body.

If I am 37 weeks pregnant and the baby hasn't dropped can I be dilated or effaced any?

You sure can. I'm 37 weeks, my baby hasn't dropped a bit either. But my doc did tell me I am 1 cm dialated and 50% effaced. She thinks I will have a long labor. It is my first.
