Help please?

I'm 39 weeks today and I still have not dilated at all, and doctor thinks I'm going to go past my due date which is on the 3rd. Is there anything I can do or try to get cervix to dilate and thin out?

I would try sex but I'm never in the "mood" and my hips feel like they're scraping against each other so moving hurts a ton

Sex! I'm 36+5. This past week every time I have sex, I feel like my stomach drops a little more. And I get more pressure on my pelvis. I won't have my next appt until September but I can only imagine all that soreness & pressure is from my body getting ready for baby!

The midwife who did our childbirth education class said sperm can help relax your cervix so lots of sex, also if the baby isnt in distress there is no need to worry about going over the due date, its safe to go right up to 42 weeks. Your baby will come when its ready :)
