How long from 1cm dilated to full on labor?

[Anonymous]

Realize everyone is different, just curious. For 1st pregnancy how long did it take from 1 cm dilated until labor started?

4 weeks.

Days, weeks. Totally depends!

Generally, for first time moms, it takes the longest to get from 1-5cm and things tend to pick up after that.

Took me 10 days with first. With second, it took a week and then my water broke.

I was at 3 cm at 36 wks. Delivered on my due date.

4 weeks for me as well. However, at my 39 week appointment was "1-2" cm and delivered the next day.

Was one centimeter at 36 weeks (fist time I was checked--may have been even earlier) and never went into labor or progressed beyond that. Was still 1 centimeter when induced week a with after my due date and ended up with a c-section. One centimeter is so super meaningless. Also have a friend who was not dilated at all at a late morning OB appointment and went into labor in the middle of that night. Baby was breach so she had a c-section but when she got to the hospital, she was already 6 centimeters.

1 cm on Tuesday, water broke on Friday.

I was 0 cm at my 39 week appointment. Water broke the very next morning, bright and early, and I was not even actually in labor. Was 1 cm when I got to the hospital, baby born 17 hours after water ruptured.

with first pregnancy, i was 0cm at 41 weeks 5 days, then went into labor the next day. not sure when i was 1 - probably not until labor started.

with second pregnancy, i never got checked, either during pregnancy or birth (which was fantastic), so i'm not sure.

At 41 weeks, 0 cms dilated.
Two days later went into labor.
At midnight I was 1 cm dilated.
DD delivered 3 hours later.
