Im 38 weeks and have been once centimeter for a week. Which is unusual for my body because previous pregnancies ive always dialate and had my boys at37 weeks. Hopefully our babies come soon

Women can be 1cm at 30 weeks and stay that way until 42 weeks. Or they can go from 0-10cm in four hours. Dilation isn't a predictor of the onset of labor. It might be tomorrow and it might be September. Either way, it'll be pretty soon.

I just found out i too am 50% and 1 cm at 38 weeks. I also found out i might have to be induced, so hopefully we can dilate soon and see our little ones.

I was 1 cm and 50% effaced at 36 weeks.
It was pretty much the same at 37 weeks.
I went to the hospital at 38+3 for contactions and i was 4 cm dialated.  I had my daughter later that day.
