I'm 31 weeks n 5 days and I'm 2 centimeters has anyone else had this problem

My doctor checked mine at 28 wks and just recently, because I started to have contractions. But most doctors don't start until 35 weeks or some check if you ask.

After how many weeks do they start checking?

[3rdtime_mum]

Your doctor tells you when you dilate. He/she will stick his or her finger inside you to tell if you have started to dilate and by how much

How can u tell if u have dilated does the doc tell ur? Or do u figure it out urself.

I had it with my daughter. Don't be surprised if they put you on bed rest or stop the Contractions until you're full term (37 weeks or longer)  I delivered her 4 days before her due date. Healthy as could be. They did have nicu on standby just in case when I did deliver her. She's almost 8 now.

Yup I'm also 31.5 weeks and I'm 1 1/2 CM dilated. My doctor told me its fine and not to worry about it. So I guess its normal

I was in the hospital for 2days I had to get steroids for his lungs and some other meds to help with contractions

Does your Dr seem. Worried about it? I know women who go for weeks dialated and stay there until due date or close to it...
