50% effaced???

I'm 36 weeks and found out yesterday that the baby is in position and I'm 50% effaced. What does this mean as far as timing for labor? Will it be soon? Can you be thinned out and still be weeks away from labor?

Okay, that's what I was thinking, but wanted to make sure. As much as I am SO OVER being pregnant... He needs more time to marinate!! Lol ;)

Effaced is the same thing as thinned out. It should just mean your body is getting prepared and hopefully a shorter labor when it does kick in. :)
