Effaced but not dilated yetttt

Stephanie

I have contractions daily, sometimes they pick up and get consistent sometimes they stay about 20-25 mins apart. I got checked at the dr on Monday and she said I’m 60% effaced but still closed. I’m almost 36 weeks but baby is measuring a week ahead. Anyone think active labor is near since my cervix is thinning?

My water broke with my first last year @ 39 weeks, I had contractions for two weeks before that (prodromal labor) but I feel like this time around the contractions have started earlier (35 weeks)
