38w appt/2cm/50%effaced!

Jordan

So I am a FTM! 36 week appointment i was "extremely high and closed tight" and last week (37w) I was 1cm and at a -3 station, "just starting to thin out" annnd today i was 2 cm, 50% effaced! I am hoping this slow but steady progress means SOMETHING! I wanna be optimistic without setting myself up for a let down lol. She will do a membrane sweep on the 31st if he isn't here by then! Any moms have slow but steady progress like me and have a positive story to tell me?!
