50% & -2 Means?

I'm 33wks and Lastnight I was checked by my doctor at the L&D because of pelvic pressure..
He told me I was 50% effaced (which means halfway thinned out) but not quite sure what -2 means. Can anyone help?  
Thank you

Did your doc say if you were close to labor? Im 32 weeks with #3 and am so sore down there it makes me wonder if she will come early.

According to online article is based on position. Google " my doctor told me I'm 50 percent effaced and negative 2" it'll say efficient dilation and station.
