I went to the dr today, ill be 37 weeks tomorrow, and I got told last week that I wasnt thinned at all and I was dilated to a 1. . .today she told me im 50% thinned and dilated to a 1-2. . .is it normal to thin out 50% in one week?? She didnt seem concerned just surprised?

Oh that's totally normal. Some women thin completely before they dilate, some thin and dilate together. As for me, I sat at 100% thinned and not dilated for weeks before I slowly started dilating. But my sis sat at 4 cm dilated and only 50% thinned. Everyone is different.
