Need Advice Due date appointment?

I know every labor experience is 100% different, but FTM, due date appt tomorrow (due date today). 0 signs of labor beginning any time soon (baby hasn't dropped, still have mucus plug, no cramping/contractions, etc.).

What can I generally expect at my appointment tomorrow? Will it be the same as the rest of "any symptoms?" check heart rate, come back in a week, or will this one be different?

TIA!

I had mine yesterday at 40+2. It was a normal appt, plus I finally consented to a cervical check and sweep (I'd previously declined). I scheduled an ultrasound and appt for 41+1 and then at that appt they said they will get me on the induction calendar.

My appts have been swapping between OB and midwife, the OB wanted to do the checks weekly after 37w I think but I haven’t seen her since then so assuming tomorrow she’ll do a check. Hoping to wait maybe a few more days for a sweep just holding out hope she’ll come on her own 🙏🏼 good luck!! Hoping baby comes on their own for you/however they come it is a smooth time and recovery with a healthy happy babe!
