It all depends on the baby to be honest. My first child I finally started to dilate to 1cm on my due date and 5 1/2 hrs later after leaving my dr appt. I arrived at the hospital at 8cms.  This pregnancy is complete opposite, I was at 1cm at 35 weeks and finally at 3cm now (39 wks).  So anything could happen to be honest and no one will know until the baby is ready to come.

I really don't want to burst your happy bubble.... but you can walk around for several weeks dialated. The thing that indicates the time getting close, is if you are thinning/effacing. Sex can help, as the semen has prostaglandins that help soften the cervix. Baby will be here when he is she is ready. I hope it happens soon for you!
