First off for safety reasons, you shouldn't be in a vehicle for that long. Especially if you don't have a cell phone or know where the local hospitals are on your route. Second, if you are going to be in a car for that long then be sure to take frequent stops to walk around and relax.
I've done that before. I was about the same number of weeks when I decided to take my 3 year old down to South Carolina from North Dakota. That is at least a 19 hour drive with a stop in Missouri and then another 11 hours to South Carolina. I did have some pain from driving but I made it there safe. Make sure to bring a cell phone, take your breaks, and pray. When you get there, pray again and thank whichever God you worship that you made it there without delivering. But honestly, you shouldn't take the drive. It is really stressful on you and the baby.
However, if you are like me and stubborn and independent make sure to follow the rules of having a cell phone and knowing where the hospitals are on your route. Good luck in your choice.

Kourtney Kardashian became pregnant with her first child, Mason Dash Disick, in the Spring of 2009. Kourtney is currrently pregnant with her second child. On November 30, 2011, Kourtney announced that she was nine weeks pregnant.
walk around for a while (like a school track), soak in a tub of hot water(as hot as you can stand it), and also, when I had my third child i drank a cup of castor oil with a tbs of lemon juice around 8pm . It had me on the toilet around 5am. I used it about 4 to 5 times and the last trip to the bathroom I was in labor......finally LOL.
Amy never really tells him she's pregnant. It just kind of gets around school. He finds out in the first few episodes though.
It means you will probably go into labor soon. I've heard of women being dilated 3cm and not going into labor for weeks. As a reference, you must be dilated to 10cm before the doctors or midwifes will allow you to push.
i have been 1 cm for 3 weeks now! I dont think that how dilated you are really matters unless you are in active labor!
Call your OBGYN
Yes, they will give you a large dose of magnesium which works as a muscle relaxer to stop your labor, then they will give you a smaller continuous dose to prevent you from going back into labor. I was 30 weeks pregnant, 3cm dilated and 80% effaced and they were very successful in stopping my labor.
Irritation from the doctors figures checking the cervix, or your in 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.
It all depends on when the baby is ready. You can be thinned out and dilated for some time before labor truly begins.
AT 3 cm dilated, you can be placed on bed rest. I was placed on bed rest at 32 weeks and 6 days to prevent me from going into preterm labor.
nipple stimulation, walking, sucking your thumb (it hits a pressure point at the roof of your mouth... all of these stimulate contractions.. Congratulations!!!
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.
There's really no way to tell. You can be slightly dilated for weeks before going into true labor. On the other hand, you might not be dilated at all and then go into labor closer to your due date. It's oddly not a very reliable way of telling when you'll deliver, until you are in active labor.
They say having sex helps , a lot of walking helps. you can talk to your Dr. he/she can set up a date to induce.
