39.3 weeks! Help
My doctor told me today I am not dialated at all. I haven't really tried any labor inducing tricks besides sex now and then.
I'm getting desperate now, as it isn't happening on its own! I've read many articles and tried many things with my last pregnancy, but not sure what has ACTUALLY worked.
I heard raspberry pure leaf tea can contract your uterus, but I couldn't find it anywhere at the store! If you have used this please tell me where you bought it and what brand you used.
And any other tricks that can get this ball rolling??!

I wouldn't bother with raspberry leaf tea as you need to take it for quite a few weeks even months 3 times a day for it to affect your uterus much. A few cups of tea this week will probably not do too much.
I also wouldn't worry about doing anything right now really as you still have up to 2 1/2 weeks to go before you hit 42 weeks, just relax when possible, go for walks, prepare frozen meals, eat well, attempt to sleep well...
At 41 weeks I tried accupuncture as that's supposed to help... Gave birth 4 days later so not sure if it worked for me but some of my friends swear by it...
Also both sex and castor oil can kick off contractions in your uterus (but if your baby isn't ready they won't continue), so I'd definitely choose sex over castor oil!
