35 weeks, 2cm dilated and 50% effaced

35 weeks, 2cm dilated and 50% effaced. Does this mean anything in the way of labor? I don’t tend to feel many contractions. They want me to go till 38 weeks if possible (fraternal Twins) but the OB told me she didn’t think I’d make it there. Does this mean labor is nearing with being 50% effaced? I was induced with my first so I don’t remember much, I never got info on dilation and effacement until I was in the hospital working my way up to a 10.

Both babies turned head down today at my 35&1 week ultrasound. Baby A gas been head down for a while and Baby B was always switching around but now she was forsure head down. Idk if that means anything either?

Thanks ladies

Has your cervix always been long? I know that my wife’s has, so any change in that would signal something to me, but I’m sure it’s all dependent on the person. It’s amazing how labor and delivery are different for everybody.

Yes my cervix has always been long when they’ve done ultrasounds and cervix checks up until this week!! I was at a 1 up until the other day as well! Isn’t it just mind blowing ?!

I've known women who walked around at 80% and 3cm for weeks. And I've known women who went from 50% and 0cm to delivering within 12 hours. It's not super predictive.
