near due date but no sign

If this is your first child, it will be long (most of the time), if you have yet to do vaginal sweep and to check on your dilation, please do request so you will know what can be done to speed up labour or admission. But, subject to individual body okay? For me, both kids exceed EDD respectively. My #1 was at 41 weeks 1 day and my #2 was at 40 weeks 2 days. Both kids were on 3cm dilation with no sign of labour except my #2 which have mild contractions only.
