Because with your third pregnancy it is perfectly normal to already be dilated like this before full term...you wait because it is not time to deliver yet....being dilated does not indicate labour...only that your body has done all this before. Unless you are experiencing labout pains it is all okay :)

balboaguy	Posted Aug 27th, 2009 at 4:53PM Because your baby is likely to be more healthy the longer you wait. I just checked with my wife and my mother who is over here at the moment. Both agree that 2 cm dilated means nothing. If your waters break, go straight to hospital...no hesitating Rated: +2Vote for this!

2Emotional	Posted Aug 27th, 2009 at 4:36PM Realistically, you could be a few weeks at 2 1/2 centimeters, I've known some women who've experienced that. If you are having labor pains I would go to the hospital, if not I would just listen to your doctor. Rated: +1Vote for this!

Thehappyfool	Posted Aug 27th, 2009 at 4:41PM your baby's lungs are still developing. they develop until the 38th week at least. there are higher risks of asthma and such until after at the very least 36 weeks. Rated: +1Vote for this!

Egoberd	Posted Aug 27th, 2009 at 4:53PM By 35 weeks you surely want this baby out. But as others have stated, you're body might not be ready yet. Nor the baby. Be patient. Enjoy your last moments without an infant. I know it's hard. Pregnancy is frustrating. It'll be over before you know it. :) Rated: +1Vote for this!
MegJgeM	Posted Aug 27th, 2009 at 5:02PM It is less stressful on you and the child to go into delivery naturally. The baby is safer inside for as long as possible. The day will come soon..... Rated: +1Vote for this!
ELEGANCE	Posted Aug 27th, 2009 at 5:16PM If you water hasn't broken yet, then you are fine. It's when your water breaks that you shouldn't be waiting it out. Good luck with the 3rd. It's a whole different stress then caring for 2. Rated: +1Vote for this!
