As your baby's birthday gets close, your cervix begins to dilate, or open up. Dilation is checked during a pelvic exam. It is measured in centimeters, from 0 (no dilation) to 10 (full dilation) Typically, if you're four centimeters dilated, you're in the active stage of labor.
ok the honest answer is that being 3 cm indicates you have started labor but no indication of when your labor will stop. I went into pre-term labor and asked the question to many doctors and nurses because I wanted to try to hold labor off as long as possible.est Answer: No one can tell you hun. When I was pregnant with my youngest I went from 3 cm to delivery in one day. However, when I was pregnant with my son, it took a week to get from 1 cm to 2, and another week to get from 2 cm to 3, and another week to get from 3 cm to labor and delivery!
