A member asked:

Im one centimeter dilated a about how much longer do i have to go so i can deliver my baby?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No way to tell: You could stay at 1 cm dilation for weeks! Are you currently in active labor? That is what tells us how long it will be until you deliver. Without that information, impossible to predict the timing of delivery.
