so what does everyone think?

So I am 31w3d and I went to the doctors today. I have been having a lot of pressure and I told my doc about it and so she checked my cervix hoping it was still closed. However she said that instead she found that the baby is very low and I am already dialated to like 1. So she is checking the length of my cervix and I have to start going to the doc every week but I don't have to stop working as of this week. Anyway I have a question. In order for her to be able to tell I'm dialating does my mucus plug have to be completely gone? And does anyone think that since I'm already dialating I'll go until june 9th like I'm supposed to?

She asked me if I wanted a work excuse for the week and then they would check me again when I came back next week but my husband hasn't found a job yet and I can't afford to not work so she said she'll wait it out one more week

I can't believe they didn't put you on at least partial bedrest...

No your plug can still be intact for her to check. And there's no way telling if you will make it or not. You could stay a one for the rest of your pregnancy or continue to dilate.
