From what I can remember, the stations are talking about the cervix getting into the 'birthing' position.

As for labour being near because your a cm dialated - sorry but it doesnt work that way. I was 1cm from about 35 weeks and at 38+5 when I was induced I was still just 1 measly cm. Some women can walk around until 41wks at 3cm without going into labour. I certainly hope this is it for you though and labour starts soon! Youll know when its the real thing, no mistaking that pain
