I honestly cant give you an accurate answer. Could you be more dialated yes, but its not a guarantee. My Dr. doesn't even check is someone is dialated until at least 38 weeks because it doesn't always help much. YOu can be dialated and not go into labor for weeks or you can be dialated and go into labor hours later.........Just know you are getting closer and try to be patient with everything---trust me I know this is difficult!! Keep walking!

So do you think my cervix has dialated anymore since hes pushing down so much?

It is probably the baby pushing down into the birthing canal, it often causes sharp pains since there are nerves and what not that can get pushed by the baby. The more the baby is working its way down they more there is going to be pushing on the cervix.
