It would def be awesome to go into labor on our own rather than be induced and honestly with both of my pregnancies my children tried to come early so I figured they would come on their own the further I got but nope I was wrong :/
I'm hoping for the same thing! With my son I didn't even start to dilate till 39 weeks and my cervix wasn't soft. With her I'm 36+5 and I got checked on Monday and I was 1cm dilated and 75% effaced! So I'm hoping she comes soon and on her own! I was induced with my son due to medical issues as well.
Well let's hope she is nice and comes on her own for mom lol I never got anywhere close to this with my son
It definitely means your body is getting ready for labor and baby. But your cervix can start thinning/opening for a while and it doesn't neccisarily mean you won't need to be induced eventually.
Thank you for helping me try to get my question answered :))
