How much longer

I am 37 weeks. Went to the doctor today and I am 3cm dilated and 80% effaced. I am bleeding a little but is that just bc I was checked today? A few very small clots (sorry tmi)!? What do you all think?

I'm 35 weeks and I'm always soo hungry all the time. I could eat a box of mac and cheese then 15-30 mins later its like I never ate anything. I don't what's wrong with me. I thought the farther along you get the less hungry you are bc there's barely any room but yet I'm the opposite.

I just feel crampy. Not really any contractions. None consistant anyway. Honestly just feels like I'm on my period. Feel bloated and cramp everywhere.

It could b very soon. I was 3 cm & bleeding with my 1st & they ended up inducing cuz doc said bleeding wasn't good! If anything, go to L&D because you never know! Good luck hun

Sounds like you're rather close to labor. Watch your contractions. Time them, if they get close and regular, go to the hospital. If your water breaks, go to the hospital.
Call your doctor if you're unsure about anything.
