Had my 40 wk checkup yesterday. doc says i'm 100% effaced but not dilated at all. when can i expect labor?

Any day but...: It could be today but could be another week or 2.First babies seem more likely to come a bit after the due date than before. Your baby will trigger the process of labor when it's ready. Do your best to avoid formally inducing labor until at least 41 weeks but having sex, breast stimulation and acupuncture may help get things going. At 41 weeks your doctor or midwife could try membrane stripping.
