36 weeks Soft cervix and dilated

Kr

Hey September mommies! I had my 36 week appointment today and she said my cervix was soft and “mushy” 😆 not sure what the mushy means but then said I am 3CM dilated on the outside and 1CM on the inside... I’ve never heard of an outside/inside reference to dilation... this is my third baby and they aren’t thinking I’ll be making my due date! My other two deliveries were smooth so hoping for another!!
