cervix dilating?

Ok so I'm 34wks pregnant, I was wondering around how many weeks does the cervix start to dilate and can you feel it opening up?

Lol oh no. You can dilate whenever,  my doctor just told me walking helps you a lot. Something to do with gravity haha and I heard it helps with labor. Good luck!!

They usually check u at 36 weeks and every appointment after that. When i got check I was 1 cm and 60% thinned. Walked all that week, next appointment I was 2 cm and 80% thinned. I'm trying to walk like everyday haha. Tomo is my 38 wk appointment and ism getting my membranes sweeped so hopefully I have a baby this week. I've been in early labor now for two weeks. And no you can't reallt feel your cervix opening... but everyone is different some people dilate early and some people go 42 weeks and are only 2 cm. Everyone is different
