I doubt that you will make it till July 12th. Is this your first baby? I have 4 children and most of the time in my case, I knew the time was close because I would lose the mucus plug. Although yo are only 35-36 weeks pregnant you could still go at anytime. Good Luck

It's hard to say for sure whether you'll make it to your induction date. Some women dilate but don't go into labor. For example, I was dilated 2 cms for three weeks before my water broke with my ds.

Wishing you an easy delivery! Good luck!
