Well, from what I hear and know, effacement is more important the dialation for getting things moving. Not too sure about breaking water before dialation, as my OB said they don't do it unless you are 1-2cm at least. Maybe bc of the risk though bc I am VBAC... I dunno. Best of luck, at least you have a finish line put up... if the baby does not beat the OB to it that is.
