I have 12 days. I also have a scheduled c-section, so I'm hoping I don't go into labor early. Good luck!

22 days and also no signs!  I'm hoping I go into labour naturally. I don't know why, but induction, drugs, and c sections have me more scared than a natural birth :P

17 days is still a while to show any signs of this is your first pregnancy. In some cases it's very common for first time moms to maybe even go passed their due date. With my first, I had no signs what's so ever & didn't actually feel my first contraction until I was 39 weeks and 6 days (the day I got induced) so don't worry about it, it'll happen when it wants to. With this pregnancy it's so different, I started having painful contractions at only 30 weeks & I'm 37 weeks, feeling like I may have him this week or next.

With my first pregnancy I was induced at 42 weeks. Every pregnancy is different. But I would ask your doctor if it would be ok to try to do things to try to make labor come. Such as nipple stimulation, walking and sex. Old wives tales also say about eating pineapple to cause contractions.

I've been taking evening primrose oil for a few days. I'm almost 38 weeks and last appt Dr said my cervix was high and closed.  Also I had never anything close to a contraction, cramp..etc. Nothing.  After 3 days on these pills I am feeling the baby farther down in my pelvic area and I'm having nightly cramps and contractions... Nothing too serious.  The primrose oil is supposed to soften the cervix and make labor easier, also some research saying it'll keep you from going over your due date...which is my concern, I do not want to be induced.  I feel like its already working for me but it is supposed to take a few weeks.  Do some research and see if you think its right for you.

I'm 19 days and FTM and no signs either which is fine because I have to have a C due to breech presentation and low amniotic fluid. Just Braxton Hicks contractions which don't impact the cervix so not a labor sign.

14 days left for me. I'm 60% effaced and dilated only to a 1. Stoll does not mean labor will happen tomorrow! Dang it! :-)
