You never know, it could all happen over night. Some people arnt showing any signs of labor any where in the near future but then wake up to being in labor. I have been dialating for 4 weeks and thinned out almost 100% i was dialated to 3 last week and go today to see if there is any more progress. So just bc i have been looking like its any day im still preg. You just never know with these things
