I went to my doctor today and was told that I was dilated 2cm. What exactly does this mean and how much longer until I deliver? Someone please calm my nerves.

Being 2 cm's really doesnt mean anything.. Meaning labor can be way off yet. I was 2 cm with my 1st pregnancy for 7 weeks... Good luck to ya!! :d
