This doesn't nessecarily mean you will go into labor by the week is out, but it is near. Labor could be a few hours, days or even weeks away. Just be sure to start counting your contractions, and if contractions become more severe, and more regular, call your practitioner.

The procedure is typically performed to induce or accelerate labor.

What if this is your 4 th baby and im 40 percent effaced but not yet dilated?

If you're 40% effaced but not yet dilated with your fourth baby, it indicates that your body is preparing for labor, though you're not quite there yet. Effacement means the cervix is thinning, which can happen in the weeks leading up to delivery, especially in subsequent pregnancies. It's common for women to experience different labor patterns with each child, so stay in touch with your healthcare provider about any changes or concerns. Keep monitoring your symptoms, and prepare for the possibility that labor could start soon.
