What does this mean

I'm sorry I feel a little dumb but today when I left the doctors they told me I'm 2 cm dilated and her head is extremely low. I'll be 39 weeks Saturday is there anyway she amy be on her way soon, that I could go into labor any time? I just want to meet my baby so bad like I'm sure every single other mother and now that I'm starting to dilate I want this to hurry, I know you can be dilated for weeks but is that usual or once you start dilating do you usually have the baby soon???

You are very close, with my baby I had recently I was 3cm dilated and I went into labor. I would ask your doctor to strip your mebranes if he hasn't already. My doctor did when I was 39 weeks and then nothing, and then he did it again at 40 weeks and a few hours later I went into labor. Also, a girl I know had her membranes stripped and she went into labor a few hours later as well.
My twins was a little different, but just ask to have your membranes stripped. That should help
