Is labor near?
I had my 38 week checkup today, and my doctor said I’m 3 cm dilated, 60% effaced, and at a -3 station. Does this mean I’ll go into labor soon? Or could I be stuck here for a while?

@Lívia is -3 considered pretty low? I bounce on a ball for 30 minutes a day, and I’m on my feet all day for work
Cervix checks are pretty pointless as everyone's Cervix can do what it wants. :( some people don't dialate or anything until basically showtime.

Station is really what matters, if your baby's head is pushing on the cervix, you dilate efficiently and the contractions pick up. Since you're already 3cm/60%, you just need to work on exercises to try and get baby moving down.
