Due today! Not dilated but thin cervix! What does this mean?

posted 14th Mar
So my due date was today but at my appt my doctor told me today that I am 39 weeks. She also checked me for dilation. She said I'm not dilated not had the baby dropped however my cervix is pretty thin.. She told me I have about a week left.. At the most.. What does this mean!!!!!?????

My belly is super super low and I feel like he has dropped, if he dropped anymore he could stick a hand out and wave.. Lol I also have been having irregular contractions last night and severe back pain on and off all day, it's like a dull achy menstrual period pain!
I'm not sure if I should listen to my doctor or my body! I feel like I am going to go into labor within the next day or two!
Also, Should I continue walking and lots of sex??? Please help!

Did your doc say you ARE 39 weeks or are MEASURING 39 weeks? They normally wouldn't push you back a week so late in the game.

A week doesn't make much of a difference if you're going to go into labor naturally. Walk, have sex, enjoy the last few moments of quiet.
No dilation with a thinned cervix doesn't mean anything, you could stay like that for weeks.
Did your doctor tell you were measuring 39 weeks or did he tell you that you are due in a week? In willing to bet he measured and told you 39 weeks and you jut misunderstood what he meant. He wouldn't change your due date this late in the game.

Oh yes girl keep walking and having sex, there is no reason to stop. It had been a long time without seeing updates or pics from you. By the way, you should take your last pregnant pics . Labor dust!!   I know you will be done quite soon

Your the only person who really knows your body. I had my dates switched back and forth tell the end of pregnancy. I knew I wasn't as far as the dr changed it to. And sure enough I was right that date came and left. I was induced at either 41 or 39 weeks. I knew I was getting close to going into labor on my own but like I said the dr said otherwise. If you feel your getting closer you probably are.Good luck. Hope all goes well.
