How dilated and effaced were you at 36 weeks?

I know it doesn’t mean anything about when you will go into labor or anything like that, but out of curiosity how dilated and effaced were you at 36 weeks, and how we cervix positioned? And if you’ve given birth how long after did you go into labor?

Hey I wasn't at all. I thought I'd go all the way to 40. Labor started Sunday evening. No real warning. Contractions just started. I was so unprepared. No bag packed. Nothing.

With my 1st I was 1cm dilated at 36 weeks. At exactly 37 weeks my water broke and I gave birth to my son.

I don’t remember I’m unsure if they just didn’t tell me or if I don’t remember but it was my 1st baby so I didn’t know to ask. I’m pregnant with my second now so I will definitely ask this time.

Not very. Cervix was still pretty high

1cm and 50%! (Which was exciting bc with my first baby I didn’t dilate at all until I was induced at 40+6.)
