1cm dilated

Im at 37wks 4Days. Went to A&E this morning due to contractions, however no bleeding or waterbag burst.. technically i wasn't in labour so i opted to go home. Just curious how long does it takes for 1cm dilation to progress to labour.. and at how many cm dilation should i be to get in labour? I am so tired already.....

To reach active labour (4cm, regular contractions), it can take days to maybe about 2 weeks, honestly. It’s highly variable. But if your contractions get more regular, hopefully the progression will be faster:)
