I was 1 cm for weeks. I didn't go to 2 plus centimeters until I was 40 weeks plus 10 days. I was 1 cm for over 5 weeks. You can do the usual things, walk, have sex, etc. Your doctor will irritate your cervix which can cause it to open a bit when you have your checks during all of your last month's visits (weekly). It will happen soon enough hon. I know it's uncomfortable and hard to wait. But you'll get there. good luck
