Every woman is different and their is a chance that your due date is off by a few weeks. My first daughter came on her due date, however I went into labor two days before she finally made her appearance in the world. I started having sharp pain in my lower pelvic area, that was the only sign I had that I was going into labor. My second daughter was nine days late, I had minor back pain for four days prior, but wasn't dilating. My mucus plug came out at 12:30 the day she was born and she entered the world by three that afternoon. I am thirty-five weeks pregnant currently, and my contractions have already began without dilating. If you want to help naturally induce the process long walks, sex, and spicy food may help. Also your doctor can help by using her fingers to weaken the membranes around your cervix. Congratulations on the baby, He or she will come when ready. It's hard when you've looked forward to something for a long time and you have to keep waiting, remember most doctors won't let you go more then two weeks over nowadays so you don't have much time left at all.
