Sooner rather than later, but that is just an educated guess, it may be another 2 weeks, you will just have to be patient, babies come when they are ready. With my first, at 7am I had a long firm cervix and his head was only 2/5 engaged, and I had him at 1.55pm. Admittedly with induction, but it took both midwives and doctors by surprise.

Your cervix can change daily when pregnant or not. It can even change height and position if you are constipated or just relieved yourself.
