Worried

If I'm 38 weeks and 4days and only dilated 1cm does that mean I will go overdue ?  I'm really stressing bc I'm so over being pregnant !

Remember, as tough as it is, due dates are only estimates. So it is totally normal to go over your due date.  That being said you can dialate quickly so just because you're at 1 cm now doesn't mean you can't go into labor tomorrow:)

Not necessarily. My friend (who had her baby about a month ago) went for her appt on a Friday, wasnt really dilated much and only about 50% effaced and she had her baby that Saturday night.... Some women go over do but some also go 0-10 in a day.
