When did you start dilating?

I was in the hospital over night on sunday and they checked me, i am 1cm dilated and 60% effaced.
I am currently 36 weeks and 2 days along. I am hoping that this is a sign that my little man will be here soon, i am in so much pain and so uncomfortable all the time that i cant wait for this to be over.

When did you start dilating? and how long afterward did you have your baby?

Sorry to say but I was 1cm at 36 weeks and had my baby at 40+3. And I was induced..I know it *****. I was so impatient and fed up but make the most of rest before baby comes. Plus the longer baby is in there the better it us for baby. I know how you feel but it'll happen soon enough I promise. But like I said..sleep lots whilst you can. My daughters nearly 1 and I'm 13weeks and so tired. Good luck and try to keep positive xx

Thanks ladies. Its been rough. Its been in the mid 90s for almost a month, our a/c unit barely works and its always really hot in my house so its hard to nap or rest comfortably and ive been having alot of really bad lower back pain along with pain and pressure in my vagina, it hurts to roll over, stand up and even to walk. Im just miserable lol.
I guess I was hoping to hear stories thatd make me think I was going to deliver soon lol
