Its really impossible to say, i was about 2 cm dialated a few weeks before being due with my first, 3 by the time she was due, and she was 7 days late.  I was right at 5 cm for more then 2 weeks with my son who finally came 9 days late.  My third I was not even a centimeters when I was checked 4 days before I was due, she came 2 days later.  Dialation is a sign that your bodies progressing, but a very poor indicator for when labor will be.

With my first I was 2 cm by 36 weeks and 4cm by 38 weeks and didn't have him until 39+5. I am 36+3 and was just checked at my appt 2 days ago and I am 2cm again but this time she has already dropped into position :) so it really could be anytime or it could take a few weeks...making some kind of progress is always exciting! Good luck your almost there :)
