Still 2cm :-(

Hi ladies, I'm 38w 1d & for the last 3 weeks I've been 2 cm w/ no progression. Anyone else stuck? I'm so discouraged, I've been trying everything to speed things up & nothing. Hoping not to go past my due date, I'm beyond uncomfortable! Ugghhh!

Good luck ladies, sounds like we're going to need it. Thanks for all the feedback. I'm just trying to be patient. I'm driving everyone around me crazy. Can't wait to meet our healthy & happy babies! Soon I hope!

The same thing happened to me and I did t go I to labor till 42 weeks.... Last stages are very uncomfortable ... You can try sex... Walking.... Or convince your doctor to induce( which I wouldn't recommend, it's more painful than regular labor) ... Hang in there I know it *****!

Don't get discouraged! A lot can change in matter of minutes! Try relaxing! You are still two weeks away from your due date! I know how you feel! I'm 3 weeks away from mine and been having labor pains and still get told nope sorry just a false labor pains! Go home and just wait! It's hard to wait! Nothing like brig excited for them to be here and anxious of when it's gonna happen...or worse where it's gonna happen! Hopefully it will happen soon for you!

Hey mama. I was a 1 for 4 weeks! My doctor had to stretch me to a 2. Once my water broke a week later I got to an 8 in 2 hours! :) dont be discouraged!
