How long can I be dilated at 5cm without having contractions?

You have a really good question, you want to know how long can a woman who'd been stuck at 5cm for a while actually be at that before she goes into labor. There are actually women who walk around at 4-5cm for weeks before they end up delivering. The true definition of labor is cervical change over a shorter period of time. So, once a woman starts having regular and intense contractions they can cause her cervix to change every hour in dilation. Someone who is at 5 is obviously going to deliver faster than someone who starts at 1 once they actually go into labor, but the true definition is they're actively changing their cervix every hour. Women can hang out at 5cm for weeks until they start having regular and intense contractions that cause their cervix to change. If this is you that you're talking about it would be better to go in sooner rather than later. Once contractions start to be regular and intense, don't wait too long before you go in and get checked. If you show any signs of progress from the 5cm you've been stuck at they'll probably keep you and watch you until you've had your baby.
