I went for my ob appt yesterday, and they said baby had'nt dropped and Im still only dilated 1cm. Do you think she could still go befor due date. Is that uncommon to not be dilated more at 37 weeks?

Thats pretty normal hon. Many women can make it to 40 weeks without being dilated at all. You could still go into labor at any time though, even if you're only one or 3-4 or not at all. As for baby having not dropped its pretty normal too, everyone is different and it happens at different times. Sometimes babies don't drop until you're into labor.

Hope it happens for you soon though! Lots of labor dust your way!

I'd say it was quite common hun. My sister wasn't 1cm dilated at well past 40 weeks. She was induced at 42 weeks. I'd say you're doing quite well! I wouldn't worry

Very common. With my first, I was only 1cm the day I went into labor. Good luck!

My sister just told me that she never dropped with any of her babies. She says she thinks it's a myth, LOL!

That's pretty normal, because it's your first things happen slowly. You never know you could be 2-3cms by your next appointment!
