1 cm dilated: If you are 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced then you are at risk for preterm labor. Normally your doctor would give you steroids to help the fetal lungs develop. Some doctors would have you on bedrest at home or in the hospital. Some would do a test called a FFN (fetal fibronectin). IF you are now having pain then you should be evaluated in labor and delivery immediately for preterm labor.
