2nd time mommies? October or November?

I'm 37+2 weeks. Monday I went for my check up and haven't dilated. Hopefully for my 38 week check up I have dilated :/ I know  I don't have much longer but my baby is measuring 2 weeks ahead and I don't want to push out a big baby. I want my labor to go smoothly since my last one didn't :/
Have any of you second time mommies experienced the baby drop? Lose your mucus plug? Have dilated? If so at what week? And how long after did you go into labor?

My first i didnt have any prelabour or braxton hicks, dont know how dilated i was but walking brought on labout at 39+3. With my second i was about 1.5m dilated by 40 weeks, had 4 weeks of prelabour symptoms. Got sweep on due date and lost plug over following 24 hours and son was born 40+2. Expecting my third and im 39+1. Has dropped from 34 weeks which i never noticed before. I have stronger braxton hicks and my breasts are dripping colustrum like after baby is born, iv thought labour was starting twice over past week with painful false labour but i think its cuz iv been through it before. If no baby by 39+6 il be getting sweep so hope this is the final few days. Hope i dont go over my due date by much

I'm going to ask if she can strip mine. She said
she won't let me push a big baby out so I think  she might induce me if I don't progress soon.
