I need advice

Ok , so im 37.4 weeks , only 2cm & 80% effaced. My dr stripped my membrane last Tuesday , I lost my mucus plug & still nothing . I've been walking , eating spicy food , eating pineapple , drinking castor oil , doing squats & stimulation of the nipples but I've been 2 cm for 3 weeks. Idk what else to do to get this done , but what I do know is im fed up with being pregnant .

I'm sorry. When you're stressed out you won't go into labor. I'd say give it a rest.  Stop trying to induce for a couple of days. Let it go. Babies don't come until they want to, sorry! Take a deep breath, get a relaxing bath or shower,  and stop trying to make it happen. When you let go and let the process take over - you'll go into labor! It sounds like you're too stressed out for any of your efforts to work.

Make sure you breath through your contractions, tensing up only stops you from dilating
