how long did it take the mommies to dilate?

July 20, 2008

I know that it can take MONTHS but just curious how long it took everyone to go from 2 cm to active labor?

On Friday I was 2 cm dilated, 70% effaced and a +1 station. (37 weeks) He said he could feel the head and it was very low. I have been feeling a lot of pressure and my belly is very hard but that is been going on for about a week now. Dr. said could be any day but he is thinking at most 2 more weeks.
