Dilating to 1 centimeter does not necessarily mean that labor is only hours or days away. The cervix can be dilated to 1 centimeter for weeks before the beginning of labor. This extent of dilation only signals that the cervix is starting to prepare for labor.
Depende yan. Kasi ako 1 week na 1cm. Pag nag start ka na mag contract ng matindi interval doon na sunod-sunod umakyat ang cm. Godluck mamsh!
