Cervical change: Labor is defined as cervical change in the presence of regular uterine contractions. Slow cervical change < 1 CM per hour is considered latent labor, while faster cervical change is considered active labor. Active labor typically onsets at about 4 CM of dilatation, but this can vary.

Please ask your doc: And please take the birthing classes as they discuss all of that, you are in labor if you are having regular contractions that cause cervical change , please call your provider if you think you are in labor.
