Glad to hear that you've hit 37 weeks! A said yesterday (she is 41 weeks tomorrow by NHS dates, 41+2 by her dates) that if she did this again, she'd try to be a lot less fixated on 37 weeks as a goal (she was REALLY keen to get to that point because of the homebirth issue as well as "officially full term") & think more towards 42 weeks, as it's getting a bit frustrating now with still no baby... I have made a note of this for future reference :)
The "tense bump" thing sounds like what she's been describing as Braxton Hicks (I've felt her bump whilst they're going on, and it does get really hard), although hers are getting a little more painful/uncomfortable now. (Which might be prodomal labour, but it does all seem to be a bit "who knows?", sigh.)
