A member asked:
5cm and 80% effaced having very bad pressure and cramping when do you think it will take to be dilated to 8cm?!?! honest answers please!!!!!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dilation: Per the classic work of Dr. Friedman, the cervix should dilate 1.2-1.5 cm per hour. More recently, that labor progression has been evaluated as being too aggressive, and that many women may take longer to dilate without having an abnormal labor.
