Itâs generally estimated that the cervix will dilate one centimeter during each hour of labor, but this cannot be generalized for every woman or every pregnancy. 0-4 centimeters dilation is considered early labor, and itâs not uncommon for a woman to be up to 2 centimeters dilated several weeks before giving birth.Dilation of 4-7 centimeters occurs during active labor.7-10 centimeters is the transition phase (shift from active labor to the final phase, delivery), and when your cervix is at 10 centimeters (about the size of a newbornâs head), itâs considered fully dilated and youâre ready to give birth.Average:-4 centimeters dilation is considered early labor, and itâs not uncommon for a woman to be up to 2 centimeters dilated several weeks before giving birth.
As the pregnancy progresses, the survival rate continually improves, with the rate of complications gradually falling. By the end of 27 weeks, the survival rate nears 90%. Survival, however, is not enough to consider it a âsafeâ time to give birth. A majority of babies born after 32 weeks of pregnancy will not have lasting difficulties. By 37 weeks, most babies will be released from the hospital just like full-term babies, requiring no extra care. This is the time at which I would consider it safe to give birth.
