Hi! You might find this useful: https://sg.theasianparent.com/cervical-dilation-chart Think 1cm means your body is ready to give birth but doesn’t mean you will enter labour immediately.

I think it’s up to individual body. Some ppl can be dilated at 1cm for weeks and some ppl can dilate from 1cm to further in one day. So it actually depends.

Depends in individual. If you cramp freqency is 5 min apart then u need to go hosp.. Even its just slight crampcos it all starts from there

No. Dilating is not that fast, I've dilated 4 cm and it took days for me to dilated to only 5 cm. Some people took weeks to dilate 1 by 1.

Can be soon can be in a few days time. Waiting game starts now. Check if you had all documents in hospital bag.

Same like me that time, but i only delivered 38wks 5 days.. Thats how long it took for us

Not yet.. I was 1cm open when 38weeks. In the end I give birth on 39+4

Depends. Have to take note on the frequency of the contractions first

Nope. But climb the stairs and walk alot. It helps to dilate faster.

I open 1 cm ask me to admit hospital, that time only 36weeks.
