Thank you for helping me try to get my question answered :))
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.
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
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.
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 :/
