2- 2 1/2 CM & 80% Effaced How Long Till Baby Time ?

I Just Left My Drs I'm At 2-21/2CM & 80% Effaced. He Said He Gives Me A Week But Shedualed Me To Be Induced In 10Days IF I Make It.
How Long Did Other Ladies Take To Get To Go Into Labor? I Feel Like He's Breaking My Insides I Just Want Him Out Already!
When I Was Pregnant With My Daughter I Was At 2Cm Maybe A Month But I Wasn't Effaced.... Does That Make A Difference?
Im Really Hoping To Have Him In The Next Couple Days If I Can

I know it is a stressful time but you have to relax hon.  :>)  Nothing ever goes exactly text book and analyzing it so much will drive you insane.  Your best bet?  Stay occupied.  Get a book, visit a friend, rent some movies, clean something.  All of that good stuff.  The mucus plug is such that it often isn't a 'plug' or an EVENT that happens.  It is just a dislodging of mucus over time.  I never had a dramatic loss of mucus plug with either of my kids.  Just excess discharge in the last few weeks of pregnancy.  Bloody, boogery goop.  Some women do lose it more in a shorter time.  But I tell ya, I lost mine and had my baby close to 3 to 4 weeks later.  I was at 1 cm and then 2 for about that same amount of time for my first.  I thought I was in labor a couple of times and still had my baby 10 days past 40 weeks.  So, this is the hard part---  but keep busy to make it go faster.  good luck

PS:  I do know it is really hard at this point in pregnancy and even painful at times.  Hang in there.  It will really be a distant memory very soon.  I was miserable when I during the end stages of my first . . .  but it kind of fades out of your mind and I went on to have a second baby.  Staying busy was helpful to me because otherwise I felt every twinge, pain, discomfort even more.  good luck

Babies come when they are ready. Some women stay dilated and effaced for what seems like forever some don't until they are actually in labor. I went into labor at 33 weeks with my first and he came the very next day I wasn't dilated or effaced at all before I went into active labor every baby and pregnancy is different it doesn't make a difference. Baby could come today If they are ready
