I'm also due the 20th. I am just now 3 cm but hardly effaced. No one really knows until it happens. I think I will meet my baby this weekend but it's just a hunch and the Doc wouldn't give me any idea. I'm sure it will be soon for you. Good luck!
If I don't have him by my due date (the 20th), doctor is going to first try sweeping my membranes....should put me into active labor hopefully and I can head to hospital.
Dr said today, 39 weeks, I am 1 1/2 and only about 50%. But she can feel the head! She stimulated my cervix which was uncomfortable, hoping to stimulate hormone production. I wish there was a simple formula as I'm sure you do too, but I guess it's a flip of the coin. Dr said hopefully in the next week we will have more progress. Ugh I'm ready to be done! Good luck
