Why are so many people already trying to dilate?

Why are so many people convinced they're having their babies early? Like, at 32/33/34 etc weeks you should not be trying to get your cervix to dilate. Yeah this part of pregnancy sucks, but these last few weeks are absolutely key for our babies and we need to just suck it up. I can't help but laugh at how many women are stating their cervix is dilated 1cm as if that means labour is soon. It doesn't mean anything at this stage. Hell, most of you are going to end up going OVER due as FTMs. Y'all need to relax and find some way to distract yourselves over the next month instead of stressing so much about dilation when it's still early.
