So I went to my doctors tuesday and he said that im finally 2cm dilated and my son is still very very low and has his head down,you could actually touch it (maybe because ive for two weeks straight i ate two whole pineapples,and took primrose oil pills but dont have anymore) I wasnt dilated the week before,just softened.Ill b 39 weeks monday so and i have a doctors appointment to check again tuesday:/ I was going to go to my other doctor and get a membrane sweap but shes all booked and cant do nun so im screwd cause my man doctor im seeing tuesday doesnt do those:/ ANY SUGGESTIONS?????? My doctor said All i need to do is have contractions 5mins apart or wait until water breaks.(and dont be a *** and tell me to just wait)

I think it really just depends on your body and the baby because I'M a ftm I'M 37+4 days today and last week I was 2cm now I'M 3 cm 75% effaced and tomorrow I have an appointment and I've been contracting all freaking day! I don't do ANYTHING lol like I literally stay home and sleep or maybe go to the store but I haven't tried anything to start labor. Doctors say I'M in the rare percentile of dilating so easy and fast and this being my first baby but yeah I really think it's up to your baby lol

DO NOT DRINK CHAMOMILE TEA!!!

Chamomile is a herb that closely resembles and is closely related to the common daisy. Scientifically, chamomile is called Matricaria recutita or Chamomilla recutita. There is no reputable evidence that chamomile can induce labor. There are some reports that Roman and German chamomile can cause a miscarriage, which might be the basis for belief that chamomile can start labor. Medical sites urge pregnant women not to use chamomile.

I'm in the same boat as you! Im 39+4 and 2cm dilated. 60%effaced and the nurse practitioner could touch the head today. I've been walking. My dr said an hour a day but I can't get myself to walk that much lol I feel so tired. He also said to eat basil and oregano. I looked it up online and it does say they used to do that back in the old days. Also another girl on here suggested chamomile tea and someone else saw that and drank it and started having contractions. You have to drink multiple cups for it to work I think tho. I only have a few EPO capsules left myself and I'm gonna use them up and drink some tea tonight! Good luck

Stairs always helped me... And pineapple does not work... With my daughteri craved pineapple throughout my whole pregnancy... I swear I ate a while pineapple a day.... Castor oil might work for you but be prepared to have the shlts... I did it with my daughter and felt like crap and couldn't keep my butt off the toilet.... Sex would work but you said you have no one...  I mean it might be tmi but play with yourself.... Make yourself orgasm it might kick start it... I know they say its the sperm that makes you go in labor... But you never know right the orgasms might work

I guess I'll be the *** and say it. You're not even 40 weeks yet, don't stress about it. Your baby will come soon enough and when he is ready; ) You won't be pregnant much longer,  just enjoy it mama:)

Have you tried spicy food and stairs? Try dipping some pineapple in spicy sauce and walking down and up the stairs.

Nipple stimulation.  It's worth a try also do some squats it'll help loosen everything up.
