I've heard this too. I don't know how true it is though. It doesn't matter how many cms you are. You could go into labor at anytime. And your water can break at anytime in your pregnancy.

I've been the same way. I'm due the 25th & I'm already 3cm dilated as of last week. And I've been having to do #2 more frequently as well, at least every day & sometimes even 2-3x's a day. But it's not diarrhea or anything, & that's what I've heard is related to labor getting closer. So if it's regular instead of diarrhea could it still mean the same thing?

And yes your water can still break, but it usually doesn't break until labor has already started. It breaks less often than you think. I hope mine does though so I'll know for sure it's time.

I thought maybe the same thing since I have been constipated this whole pregnancy until a couple days ago.  My last appointment I was 5cm dilated, 100% effaced, and her head was engaged.  That was almost 6 days ago and i'm still pregnant.  Sometimes it doesn't mean anything :(
