38 weeks pregnant now 5cm dilated how long do i have now? will the process be quicker?

Won't be long!: It appears all is set for you to be in active labor. 5 cm is about half way there to complete and you should begin experiencing labor pains if you are already not. Stay close by to your ride. Be ready for rupture of your membranes and maybe a short delivery. Congratulations!
