Q: Back From the Dr

Just got back from the dr he did the strep b test I think is what he said it was and checked my cervix and said that it was softening and wouldnt be much longer.... And that she is head down. They gave me my papers and told me to keep them with me everywhere I go in case I go in to labor.

So I was wondering if it is softening then about how much longer do I have? Or does it just depend?
