Cervical check

Hi ladies! Today was my first cervical check at 37+1. It was a little different then I expected it to go... as soon as the doctor started to check he said "oh my god" and I of course immediately said what!? As I flew back almost off the table and he was telling me to stay still. Apparently my baby's head is RIGHT THERE and he had to almost dig behind it to get to my cervix. I'm not dilated yet but I am soft he said, anyone have experience with baby's head so far down and no dilation yet? I'm hoping by next week I'll have a serious change!
