I know how you feel.     I'm 9 days overdue, 3cm dilated and effaced.    MW could feel my waters bulging.     Technically I should be having painful contractions, but I'm not.    They are only mildly uncomfortable, although regular.    MW said I just need a few strong contractions or my waters to go to get me admitted, but they just don;t seem to be coming at all.      I've never eaten so much spicy food, driven over bumpy roads, bounced on my birthing ball and had sex - also loads of walking (like 4 miles a day) and had 3 sweeps done and still NOTHING :(     SO depressed right now, this baby does not want to come into this world and I'm not getting induced until Tuesday morning :( x

SEX if you haven't tried it yet do it seriously sometimes it doesn't always work but it did for me! Had sex with my daughters dad on xmas morning at 130am and within two hours i was on my way tothe hospital i had her at 1130am xmas morning i had been dialated to almost a4 got a few weeks before hand so idk if that helped or not but semen makes your body release a natural chemical called oxytocin its the natural version of pitocin which is used when they induce you in the hospital good luck i hope something works soon for you so you can meet your new little one :)
