36 weeks pregnant with 1 cm dilated and 50 effaced. what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Preparing for labor: A cervix 1cm dilated and 50% effaced means that your body is starting to prepare for labor. There's no way to predict exactly how long until labor comes: it may not happen until around your due date.
