Can getting checked to see if you're dilating help speed things up? I got checked for the first time today, I'll be 36 weeks Friday and I was wondering if by getting checked if it was make me dilate faster or make me lose my mucus plug. (Also when I got checked, my OB said I wasn't a 0 but I wasn't a full 1 and my cervix was EXTREMELY soft and he could feel babies head)
