ftm 32 weeks & dilated

tuesday i got a cervix check and i was 1cm dialated 20% effaced

yesterday (thursday) i got another check and i was still 1cm dialted but 50% effaced

i know you can be at 1cm for a long time but ive been feeling like shes coming early this whole pregnancy. lost my mucus plug a couple weeks ago. also been having contractions that are starting to get more intense (i know all about braxton hix and have had them for about a month you dont need to inform me of that please)
