Trying to induce labor naturally

I'm 38wks and 4days and of last Thursday I was not dilated and only 75% effaced. Iv been walking, squatting,dancing, using my breast pump, now I'm on my Exercise ball And drinking the raspberry tea lol!!! I'm hoping iv made some progress by my next Dr appointment and at least 1cm so my Dr can do the membrane sweep. I'm so ready to meet my baby boy!!

I'm in the same boat as you pretty much.. Only 1 cm dilated since last week. Menstrual like cramping and some sharp pains down low in my pelvis and some contractions, I drank about 6 cups of Organic Raspberry Leaf Tea today, tried it for the first time and lost some of my mucous plug (it was clear-snotty like) sorry for TMI but that's about it. Hope I've progressed, have my gyno appt tomorrow morning. 38 weeks in 2 days so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. My first girl was born the day I turned 37 weeks. So this ones a little stubborn lol.
