For those who have dilated 1cm, how to know if one has dilated further at home? How are we to differentiate early versus active labour?

Unfortunately, assessing the degree of cervical dilation is something that can only be done via per vaginal examination by a trained healthcare professional. You want to be looking out for when contractions become regular, frequent, and increasingly intense. Active labor contractions are typically about 4-5 minutes apart, last around 45-60 seconds, and continue to occur consistently. If your contractions and increasingly regular and intense, do consult your healthcare provider or head down to the hospital for further assessment and management.
