38 weeks! need ideas..

I am 38 weeks. I can't breath, I can't sleep, I can hardly even eat anymore because it feels like I have no more room. What can I do to get labor started? Doctor said the baby is full term. But he can't induce me until November 5th:(

I've been feeling the exact same way.  I'm just miserable..I know how u feel. My dr wont induce me till nov 5th either :-/.. I've been doing a lot of walking, squats n I've had a cpl friends tell me that they took castor oil n they went into labor a cpl hours later. My Dr told me it'll just make me sick but I'm so tempted to try it. Good luck :-)

I'm trying to be really active walking, cleaning, & so far only started to lose mucus plug in the last 3days.

Sorry you have to feel that way. I'm 38wks1day & can't get out of bed without it being hard work let alone not getting any sleep I feel like I can't even walk without it being painfull & tiring. Just think of how soon you will have your baby in your arms & how beautiful & wonderful it will be to give him/her love. Hang in there :)
