Anyone else dilated already?

This is Baby #4, but I feel like it's #1!  I'm 3-4 cm already at 36w3day and my midwife is just telling me to try and wait until Tuesday when I'll be 37w (she was joking).  Now I am just anxious....anyone else in the same boat?

    I'm 3 cm also. My dr joked yesterday that I need to wait till tuesday bc she's out of town today - Monday. While it may not mean anything and I could be 3 cm for weeks, I have a history of "early" deliveries (i.e. not going the full 40 weeks) with being 3 cm at 37 weeks and delivering at 38 weeks for DD. And she was a fast delivery (4.5 hrs total). I'm not expecting to make it past 38 weeks but know this LO could end up comfy in there longer, too. I'm just happy there's progress in general.

    It doesn't mean much... Sorry. I was in and out of labor and delivery last weekend with contractions and I'm still only 3cm and the contractions have decreased. Now I just wait.

    Until you are also having regular, timeable contractions, it means nothing. Sorry!

    I went into ptl at 31 weeks when I dilated 1-2 cm and have since reverted to a closed cervix! Hoping to stay that way for a while!

    I totally know what you mean about feeling like this is your first pregnancy though! This is #3 for me and its completely different than my first two were. I feel so nervous all the time!

    My SIL was 5cm dilated for about 3 weeks before she went into labor, it's not an indication of how soon you will go.

    I was 3.5cm at 35 weeks with #2.  Doctor was panicked about preterm delivery.  He came at 38 weeks!
