I think everyone's body is different I wasn't dilated or effaced at all at my 38 week appointment and 3 days later I was in labor and didn't go to the hospital until my contractions were 3 minutes apart (I had no clue I was in labor because my doctor told me it would probably be 40+ weeks) when I arrived I was 6cm dilated and 100‰ effaced... However I did not start pushing for about 12 more hours because my labor slowed dramatically

you never know! one thing i have learned with having kids, is that it can happen fast and it can be quite surprising! haha @edomke

Ya if it's your second in sure it could be soon! I am about 100% effaced but only one centimeter dialated. Lol so i think it will be awhile

the post above is for you, I didn't tag you in it @edomke

This is my second baby, I had both of mine back to back. At my appointment a week ago I was already 3cm dilated, 75% effaced, and my sons head was already at the -2 cervical station. With my first baby, I had to be given pictocin because my waters broke, and I wasn't dilating fast enough. My colostrum also didn't come in until I had my first baby. lol. I think the second time around the body just knows what's going on.

I have too but here i am ...but everyone is different! This is also my first too so idk if this is for you or not
