dilation

So my friend is dilated to 3cm and her due date is tomorrow. She has been in the hospital three times this week and they refuse to induce her despite contractions because she has not dilated any more. Anything safe that helps dilation besides sex? Her hospital does not have induction openings until Friday.

Yes, I told her she had a stubborn baby. lol. Actually her doctors office is very unorganized and hasn't even been doing a good job of communicating to the hospital. They have sent her twice to be induced and when she got to the hospital the hospital merely monitored her and said they did not hear she was supposed to be getting induced. Now she will be waiting until Friday. I feel her frustration, she won't be going back to that doctor if she decides to try again one day.

The best thing to do would be to wait.  Obviously the baby is not ready to come out yet.  Has she asked her doc to trying stripping her membranes?
