Worried & Frustrated
I'm 39 weeks and 1 day my doctor checked my cervix today and said the baby is still very high and I'm not dilated at all. I'm concerned the baby isn't coming by his due date which is in 6 days. I've had a very healthy pregnancy no complications and I've walked a lot during the pregnancy I just stopped working at 38 weeks. I just don't understand why he's not ready or showing any signs of coming soon :(. What can I do to encourage my body to start getting ready for labor?
Sex is very painful for me right now because of all the engorgement but I have walked a lot, nipple stimulation, bouncing on the exercise ball and tomorrow I might get a membrane sweep. If that doesn't work I might be desperate enough to just try sex anyways.
I'm 40 weeks tomorrow my due date is tomorrow and she still hasn't dropped and I'm not showing any signs of labor not even Braxton Hicks contactions I'm in the same boat and I really don't want to be induced.
