Labor fast approaching?

MM

38 weeks 1 day, just left my midwife appointment. I’m 2cm dilated and 80% effaced (thinned out). I was thinking of being induced next week at 39 weeks (elective induction) but the midwife said she doesn’t agree because for this being my first baby, I’m progressing really well.

Any other moms have similar stories and gave birth before their due date? The midwife said it’s hard to say if baby will be here before my due date (sept 9th) but that I’m doing really good in progression.

Last week I was 1cm dilated and 25% effaced.
