I understand that during labour, the more dilated the cervix becomes, the closer a woman is to delivery. I wanted to ask, are there any guidelines on how dilated she should be before going to the hospital? From watching labour scenes on tv and in films, I thought you are supposed to get to hospital or call an ambulance as soon as labour starts. Is that not the standard practice?
