My doctor doesn't start internals until 38w. Sucks because it would be nice to know if I'm progressing at all.

I was 50% effaced at my first internal on Wednesday. My MW wants me to deliver before our due date because of my GD, so she asked me to start taking Evening Primrose Oil to keep things progressing. I think it is available at drug stores or health food stores. You could try it.
I had my first internal today. She didn't give me a percent or anything, but she said I was closed but noticeably softening and thinning out, and that she could feel LO's head against the cervix. So overall good news.
Re: 2nd internal
Woohoo for 50 - 60%!

That seems like progress to me, but I understand where you're coming from! Bounce bounce bounce!
I haven't had an internal yet and am anxious to see where I stand.
