37 weeks and 2 cm dilated, 70 % effaced?

im 37 weeks, went to the hospital the other night for cramps and im 2 cm dilated. They had me walk for 2 hours but I didn't dilate anymore. Im also 70% effaced. Well they sent home and that night my baby dropped. The following morning I lost my mucus plug and had some bleeding. This morning I had a real painful contraction and a few hours later two Braxton hicks. Been having lots of pressure down there and sometimes when she moves it'll send sharp pain down there too. I know this is pre labor but how long till im in active labor?

    No one can answer this question. You could stay dilated 2cm for a week or more. That baby works on its own schedule so all you can do wait it out.

    Best wishes to you and new little one.

    According to my crystal ball its a matter of hours, days weeks or 4 more weeks. I hate to be a 'wet blanket' and I by no means mean to sound condescending here but it literally is a matter of hours, days to 4 more weeks.
