39wks3days pregnant. dilated to 2cm baby -1 does that mean labor will be soon or could it still be awhile?

Hard to say: when someone who has had babies is dilated and at 0 or lower, labor usually happens pretty soon and pretty quick. at -1 it is harder to say.

Unpredictable: Your patient information shows 4 prior pregnancies/deliveries. Given this history, your labor is less predictable as you could progress more rapidly when it does become active, however you may still "hang out" with cervix at 2-3 cm for many days. Each woman and each pregnancy can be very different. Try to relax and enjoy the last bit of time before baby arrives, but don't go too far!
