I was a 0 at 40 weeks. I told my doctor I didn't want to talk about being induced until 41 weeks. I went into labor at 40 weeks and 4 days. When I went to the hospital I was only a 2 baby was born 13 hours later.

I was 4cm last Monday.  Today I'm 38 weeks +2 days.  And I don't feel nothing different. I tried walking, massage and sex and nothing.  I just cramp for like an hour and then its stops. So I guess if she is not ready,she is not coming out

Oh, .5. 1/2 a cm......ya I can read sometimes I swear! ;) haha

"Only" 5cm. Your halfway there! Being at a 5 is phenomenal. They consider you in the beginning stage of labor at 4. As stated above, you can go from nothing to baby in arms in a day. Dilating early just makes the extreme pain spread out more as oppose to going from 0 to 100 in a day. Ouch. But really it's not a precursor to baby coming sooner or later

I'm 40 weeks and only dilated .5cm. I guess he is way too comfy to come out haha

You don't have to be induced once you reach your due date. You can keep going as long as it's safe. A due date is only an estimate.

Remember that while some women walk around at 2-3 cm for weeks, others can jump from nothing or not much to full blown labor within a few days (or less)! So don't feel too discouraged, it still could be soon! I was only 1 cm at 36+4 and will be checked again this Wednesday at 38+4, but I'm not basing when my baby will come off of that! At least you know things are moving in the right direction.
