36 weeks

It’s quite normal. Every pregnancy is different and every cervix is different. There are studies that reveal 6 raw dates per day help to soften the cervix and a soft cervix means quicker labor.

Yes. You are not in labor and still have at least 4wks until your due date. That would be its reasoning to open. Do some dilate prior to labor? Yes, however you are less likely to dilate this early with it being your first. If anything youre more likely to go overdue.

Yes. You can stay close until you enter active labor. This can happen between 37 weeks and 42 weeks

Yes! I'm in the same boat but with an 8lb baby 🫠 for at least two more weeks, I hope, lol.

Don't stress mama sounds like your body is doing what it needs!

Yep. I'm 36 weeks with a 6 lb 7 oz baby and cervix is still at 0.

Sounds normal

Very normal honestly, especially for FTMs. I had to get induced at 40 weeks and a day because my daughter didn't feel like coming out and my cervix was only very slightly open, if at all.
