My daughter dropped and was chillin' down there for weeks. Sadly no one can answer this and you really should be praying that baby stays in as long as possible regardless of how healthy your other early children were.
No one here can tell you when you'll have this baby.
No one can tell you this, not even your doctor. Even if you had a dating ultrasound, it wouldn't necessarily tell you the day you'd go into labor. Some women have pre-labor symptoms for weeks, others start and finish labor in a matter of hours. FWIW, my baby dropped way down into my pelvis at 36 weeks and I didn't go into labor until 39+6. I know women who were dilated to 3-4 for weeks before labor started, while I was only a fingertip dilated at a doctor appointment 3 days before i went into labor. Organs should be fully formed and developed for most of the last several weeks, so that doesn't mean anything. The last 2-3 weeks the baby is primarily gaining weight, everything is pretty much developed. And still some people don't go into labor on their own and wind up delivering at 42 weeks or after induction. You just never know.
It's possible that you're more likely to deliver early based on your history, but I honestly have no idea. That's a decent question for your doctor, but they're just going to be able to give you a statistical guess, nothing definite. My mom always liked to tell me that she went to the doctor on a Wednesday afternoon when pregnant with me and was told she "definitely had at least another week" but then her water broke in bed that night. Seriously, no one can tell you when this will happen.
