I'm due in 8 days and still no sign of her coming I'm completely effaced butbonly 1cm and I already lost my mucus plug so now it's just a waiting game

40 weeks is as long as you should be pregnant, I had an appt on a Friday, they checked me had NO progress what so ever, baby hadn't dropped or anything, went into early labor Monday , didn't go to the hospital til 1a on wed cuz I knew If contractions weren't 5min apart they'd send me home , had my son that day at 6:36am ,things can happen outta no where, he was born the day before his due date
