You are only 37 weeks.
Contractions will not start until you actually go into labour and that may be ANY time between now and about 42 weeks.
Stop worrying.
You MAY get the odd Braxton Hicks (false) contractions in the meantime.
You are not meant to get contractions for weeks beforehand. I suggest you get a book and read about the last weeks of pregnancy so you have a better understanding of what to expect.

36 to 40 weeks is full term. If the doc says your cervix is thinning, everything should be going normal.
I carried all three of mine high, right up til labor.
Have you had your spurt of energy? This usually happens a week or two prior to labor.
Congratulations on your baby! Best wishes to you and your family. May God bless all of you!

Everyone is different. So babies don't drop at all. If your cervex is thinning it's a good sign. Just be patient...it will happen when he or she is good and ready!

if this is your first baby then yes. i didn't drop with my first one until two hours before i had her. they were about to do a c-section b/c of that. if your doctors not worried about it and if your baby's healthy then you shouldn't be worried about it. i also had a scheduled inducement with my second and i loved it so much more b/c i could plan things around it. just listen to the doctor and everything will be fine b/c their no.1 concern is always for the baby and you.

You are 3 weeks away plently of time left for all that stuff to happen. My son didnt drop until the week he was born and my cervix didnt thin until then either. I think its total normal.
