I am 37 weeks, 3cm dilated and 70-80% effaced with a soft cervix... Can any ladies share how long after 3 cm it took for them to begin active labor???

I am a Lil nervous BC my fiance and I are planning on getting married next Thursday, I'm not sure if I'll make it til then...

I didn't get checked until labour started at 39 weeks. They sent me home as I was between 2 & 3cm. I got him my water broke & when we got back I was 6 cm. It really depends on your body & the way you'll labour. I've seen some woman on here who have sat a 'x' cms for weeks :)
