29 weeks and already 1cm dilated?

[dani0314]

So i went into labor and delivery because of a lot of pelvic pressure and pain only in the middle of my pelvis.  Come to find out I'm already 1cm dilated, 50% effaced, and cervix is mid position. Is this normal?  This is my second pregnancy and the dr didn't seem too concerned about it. He did an ultrasound and said everything still looks good with my son. He also said he's hardly engaged in my pelvis either.

I went into early labor with my last pregnancy and i was two cm dilated when the stoped my labor at 24 weeks. I delivered at 38 close to 39 weeks. That was my fifth baby. But everyone is different.

Slow labor sounds so agonizing lol but let's hope he stays put til 37 weeks at least

Yeah I think it's considered "slow labor" something of that title. But I know it's normal and you could stay that way for months! But yeah if your doctor didn't seem concerned I wouldn't stress good luck and congrats :)

With my second I started dialating early. My dr said it is normal with subsequent pregnancies for things to change earlier. My son was born at 37-38 weeks so I wouldn't worry you may not change for another month!

Thanks for the response :) let's hope it stays that way for awhile

I'm a ftm so I couldn't say BUT I have read that you can be dilated for weeks or months before giving birth. So you might stay 1cm for a whole month before getting to 2cm

Hope that helps
