I think its all a guessing game and whatever and whenever it happens, its when its supposed to happen.

I'm nearly at my due date and my DH still can't even feel my cervix because its pretty far back. I'm not worried, I've had 2 vaginal deliveries and my cervix was obviously working then, so no reason why it wouldn't work for this one as well.

So I wouldn't personally try to read too much into it
