I am only 34 weeks pregnant and i have already dilated one centimeter...I am having alot of contractions and I have dropped alot. I am scared I am going to go into labor too early and my baby won't be ok...my doctor keeps changing my due date and he said i might not be as far as long as I thought because of my babys measurments...he's saying im around 33 weeks...if so that would be even worse. I just keep worrying myself to death that if I go into labor he won't be ok...i'm doing everything I can to relax and not do much...I am just wondering if anyone has dilated before it was time to have our baby....

I am currently 38 wks 4 days and was also dilated 1 cm at 34 wks, with a history of premature birth. At my last dr visit, I had dilated to 3 cm and was 80% effaced. The dr said it could be any day, but you never know with these things. So, in answer to your question, you can be at 1 cm for a while before you go into labor. Don't worry.

Don't panic. Measurements are only o averages. If you are certain on your dates (i.e LMP) then go by them. I delivered my baby at 33+5 and he was fine. He is now 4 1/2 and a complete nightmare some days! It could still be weeks before you go into labour so relax as much as you can - you will need the energy!

Remember, premature babies can be delivered at 24 weeks and still survive. I know it's easier said than done, but try not to worry!
