Mom’s who’ve delivered and we’re dilating before active labour!

Melissa

If you were dilated to about 3-4cm before your intense, active labour started, how fast did your active labour go before you bundle of joy arrived? I’ve been contracting on and off for over a week and am at 3cm right now. I’m wondering if this means that when labour finally kicks in full force if I’ll dilate and deliver quickly because my body has already done some work...?
