At 38 weeks I was about 3 cm and 70%. I ended up being induced 10 days prior to my due date because I had been leaking fluid for several days but had no contractions. That is the one part I would like to avoid next time.

I was 38 weeks but I had to get induced because of high blood pressure. I was on pitocin for 8 hours and nothing happened until they broke my water at 9pm. around 5am the next morning it was time to push. I pushed for 2 hours and she wasnt coming out so I had to have a c section. At 8:43am on july 23rd,2011 my life changed when my beautiful daughter Gracelyn Joy was born!

Dilated to a two and thinned 2-4 weeks before all of them. Water broke first with ds1 and dd. Labor for 5 hours before the midwife broke my water with ds2. !4 hours an 4 pushing with ds1, 8 hours and 4 pushes (twice for her head and once for each shoulder) with dd, and 6 hours and 20 minutes of pushing for ds2. 9lbs, 5.16, and 7,2 respectively.

41 weeks, no braxton hicks, but I did wake up that morning with the urge to mow the lawn because it was shabby and my inlaws were coming.  I mowed the lawn that morning, started contractions that night, and she was born the next day.  Every baby is different and I think there really isn't any way to tell.
