My due date is also the 16th :) and i don't think so. I was checked at 36 weeks and I was fully closed. I'm in again on Wednesday and they will be checking. Hopefully I'm starting to! You find it today if you are right? Good luck hopefully you're making progress!

it's because melatonin, the hormone that helps you sleep,.also helps to start labor

I think we have the same due date and I've been getting them too. Mine are usually just a few hours before I wake up and right before I go to bed. No clue why it happens then though. Just to make sure we don't get a good night sleep lol
