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.....

The other mummies are right, the contractions you experience should be Braxton hicks and you'll experience a few of those nearing the labour. I was stuck at 2cm for 2 weeks. There was barely any progression until I went for induction. If this is your first pregnancy, it might take a while. But do monitor for any signs of real labour like mucus plug or the obvious is waterbag burst.
