premature labor?

I have been super nervous about going into labor early. I'm 34 weeks and everything's been super normal, baby's weighed ahead of marks the only random complication was having bv at like 4 months or so but I took my antibiotics and such. I don't really know why I think I will but I do. My mom had me a month early (almost 20 years ago) and I apparently went home with them the next day. Is that weird?

I'm hoping they'll have news for me on my 36 w app on the 14th. Every app the last month or two has been doppler and blood pressure and then they send me on my way. It makes me really nervous to not get any extra info. At least at this next one they'll finally be checking for dilation and running tests! I just wish I had an ultrasound just for peace of mind!

I'm 1cm and 70% effaced. With my first I had the same pattern, dilated around 30 weeks. Guess you still never know. If he does try to make his entrance at  36 weeks I won't let them stop labor only because the meds can do more harm than good at that point. As long as I can make it to 36 I'll be less worried

My last one came at 36 weeks my boyfriends family all said I would go a month early cuz they all do.. I was also a month early and my sister was 2 months early ... This one I thought I would but still nothing I'm 36 weeks now and I don't see it happening anytime soon even though I'm 1-2 cm dilated and 90% effaced I've been this way since 30 weeks :/

Man, it's both comforting and scary at the same time. I definitely don't wanna be one of those ftm who go a week or two past their due date, I'm already so done being pregnant and ready to get past all the labor fears and get it over with, but I'm also scared of having him too early. I'm really surprised I've kept him in this long!

I had my first at 36 weeks. No complications he was just ready to come. 7lbs 9oz. Now I'm just curious to see if I will have this one around that time frame. Currently 32 weeks And the anxiety of not knowing when is killing me. But 36 weekers usually do fine, my son came home when I did
