Hello
Cervix generally opens after the start of labour. You may go in to labour any time. No need to worry about opening of cervix until the start of labour as only then we assess if it has adequately opened and if not,we take appropriate steps.

normally it takes about 6hrs after the onset of labour pain..it s early if u had previous pregnancy..u would get the pain at any time..the obstetrician will assess u once u get the pain..all the best..

hello
opening of the cervix - is an early sign of labor can happen a few hours to a couple of days earlier
If your experiencing uterine contractions at regular intervals - they are called labor pains and this will help further opening of the cervix
you need to meet your gynecologist once the pains start
Occasionally you might break your water bags first
please see your consultant when there any of this
