Dialation & effacement

[Joshs_Angels]

I just got out of my weekly doctors appt. (i'm 36 weeks today) and he said I'm 1&1/2 cm dialated and about 70% effaced. this happened since last wednesday, when he checked and said nothing yet. I was just curious how long (or not long at all) any of you who have had babies before took to reach 100%? Of course theres no way to know how long i'll take since its just a natural occurence but i'm just curious and excited :)

I was 3 cm and 100% effaced for 1-2 weeks (can't remember exactly). Before that I was 2-3cm for another couple weeks.

It's still a little early for your baby to come just yet but I definitely understand your excitement.

At 36 weeks I had a bloody show and went into labor at 38 weeks. At the end of my 37 weeks I was checked (for the first time) and was 4-5cm and just about 100% effaced. 2 days later I had my son. It's hard to tell. It could be another month or it could be sooner!  Either way, you are very close. Good luck!!
