How dilated can you be and STILL not be in labor??

I had my 38 week appointment today and I was 4cm dilated, 90% effaced, and the baby was at a -2 station. Seriously...I'm glad because once it does start it will go quickly but, come on! How dilated can you be and NOT be in labor?? Hopefully she'll get her act together soon and I'll start having regular contractions...I'm half tempted to just go to the hospital when I'm having some and then they'll let me stay and if the contractions stop most likely start the pit. However there is a silver lining (although I doubt that Clayton will think so since he has a test on Monday) but if I don't have the baby this weekend then bright and early Monday morning I have an appointment at the hospital.

That is how I was at 37 weeks, the day before I had Jeff. My MIL was supper nervous, but he was my first labor, so it still went supper slow (Jack was breach, C-Section). I'm excited to see cute baby pictures soon. I hope all goes well. Just tell Clayton it is a great excuse to get out of a test. Scott milked that excuse when we had Jack.

That's crazy Camea! I hope she gets it together soon and decides to come too. I walked around as much as I could the day I went into labor with Versii and it worked.
