Im 34 wks pregnant & the dr said i'm about 1 cm dilated, & it should be "anytime now"... how long can u stay 1 cm dilated before true labor begins?

i've heard of people being that way for 2-3 weeks. some quicker than that...so you never can tell, it's different for everyone.

I was also 1 cm dilated at 34 weeks and my doctor said she didn't think I was going to be pregnant for much longer. I am now 37 weeks and I am only 2 cm dilated and 50% effaced. Everyone is different but be sure to keep an eye out for pre-term labor signs. Good Luck.

I am 40 weeks tomorrow and have been at 3-4 cent. for 2 weeks now. I think you can be dialated for weeks without anything happening.

I don't think the doctor should have said anytime now as being dilated doesn't really mean anything. You are only 34 weeks so hopefully you still have a few more weeks. At 36wks. I was 3cm/70%effaced. At 37 and 38 weeks I was at 4cm/70%. I finally had baby at 39 weeks. The one good thing is the labor went fast since I was already part of the way there.

I am 35 weeks and my doctor told me today that I was 1 cm. dialated and 70% effaced. She said you can be at 1 cm. for a month or so.

Actually, women who are not first time mothers are 1 cm dilated anyway, but it's not unusual to start dilating around the time you are. I don't think your dr should have said "any time now" because he/she can't estimate that. You could be 1 cm for quite a long time. Don't worry, soon enough your baby will be in your arms!
