My cervix is 2cm dilated now and baby has not engaged yet. May I know how long more I will go into actual labor? I am in 38weeks now.

I think it will be different for everyone. My friend was in a similar situation and went into labour after almost two days. I think you can try timing your contractions. Here are some characteristics of labour contractions: - Contractions come at regular intervals, gradually getting closer and closer - Each contraction lasts about half a minute to over a minute - Contractions get stronger over time - Contractions persist despite lying down or resting - You can feel the contractions in other parts of your body like the back - You have contractions and your water has broken As a guide, if you experience regular contractions every 10 mins or less, it is time to head to the hospital as you are likely going into labour.
