A member asked:
Im 35 weeks preg.. i had mild cramping and got admitted to the hostipal last night , the doctor said my cervix is softening , how long until labour?

In hours to weeks: Science has not yet discovered a reliable method for predicting the onset of labor in women. The mild cramping you had experienced may be transient and the softening of your cervix may occur hours to weeks before labor begins. Wish to remain pregnant until at least 38 weeks for your baby's sake despite your discomfort. Premature delivery before 37 wks is not good; can be a terrible complication.
