36 week appointment

Marcy

Tomorrow I have my 36 week appointment and I’m going to be checked for dilation and effacement. Super excited and hoping that I’m atleast a little bit dilated ( I know that this doesn’t really mean much but I will be happy knowing my body is starting the labor process). How many of you ladies were already dilated and effaced at your 36 week appointment?! And also, will it hurt when being checked?
