 Someone make me feel better 
Please...someone tell me they went into labor shortly after the dr. told them they weren't dialted or anything!! 
  I know I am only three days late - but I am looking for some hope :) 
  I am having contractions but I am not dialated at all (although I am effacing)
  Did anyone go into labor NOT dialated?

I wasn't dilated at all. It just happened.

  me neither- they say that the first child its not that common to actually dialate that quickly until labor really begins.

 Re: Someone make me feel better 
Yep. very true and I was also told that effacement would truly determine when labor would begin as opposed to dilation.

 Re: Someone make me feel better 
Yes - I think I read that for first timers, you have to efface before you dialate...

I did! Then they gave me Stadol to speed it up and it worked... I was 6 days late.

 Re: Someone make me feel better 
I had contractions and lost myplug...the doctor said I wasn't dialated at all.  I had DS the next day.  When I finally got to the hospital I was already 5 cm dialated, but the contractions were still the same amount apart.  Its definitely not an exact science!!
 
  GOOD LUCK!!!

 Re: Someone make me feel better 
I had my last appt with the doctor and he said it would be a while as I was 1 cm dialated.  My water broke the next afternoon and DS was born about seven hours later.  You never know!
