I am tired. I am 39 weeks today. I have been 2 cm for one and a half weeks. If you figure something out I wish you would let me know. I do the same thing as you do every night and have for the past 3 weeks. My doctor said that I will not go after my due date, but this will probably be the longest week of my life.
Reply:I remember those days, walk walk walk walk... that is what i did with my last pregnancy, next day i was having her..l :)
Reply:Oils and foods and things just arent going to make anything happen. Hormones cause contractions and dilation, not cramping in the digestive system. Your doctor is a quack.



Stimulate your nipples by rubbing or pinching them for 20 minutes at a time every hour. Dont stop, keep doing it every hour. Your labor will start, I promise. Nipple stimulation causes the release of hormones which cause contractions and can encourage dilation.



I was in labor for 43 1;/2 hours, with irregular contractions, even when I was pushing, it was literally nipples stimulation that caused things to happen, i had to tweak them to get contractions so I could push.



Stimulate your nipples, I promise it will get your labor going.
Reply:Have sex,... good sex, a woman's orgasm can bring on contractions.
Reply:i wish i was pregnant
Reply:I felt like that at the end of my pregnancy, and once you had the baby, you'll feel like you want to be pregnant again, haha.



If the pains are not constant, it is braxton hicks contractions.

I would time them anyways and see how steady they are.



There is nothing you can do to change it.



Just hang in there, it is almost over!



Good luck and Congratulations.
Reply:I don't really think there is anything that works short of it coming naturally or being induced by your doctor. Sounds like you are getting close any ways. Congratulations :)
Reply:I've been using the evening primrose oil capsules, too.....and I have gotten nothing off of them. I was at 11/2 cm dialated last week. I go back to the doctor Wednesday. I did the whole walking thing and sex, sex, sex.....I am really starting to believe people when they say nothing will start your labor unless the baby and body are ready...I know it sucks!!! (I hated hearing people tell me that.) I am going today to eat me some spicy lunch and see if THAT does anything.....let me know if you find something different to do!! :)

Good Luck and Congrats!!
Reply:awwww unfortunately my dr told me with my first you can try to induce all you want if your body and the baby arent ready your natural labor hormones wont kick in, I am sorry!!!! Best of luck.. just think I have 16 weeks left, now dont you feel better already!
