I will be 40 weeks on Friday and I have been trying everything to go into labor. Every appt I get frustrated because the progress is slow. Today she said I was 2-3 cm dilated and my cervix was 70% open. I can't deal with the leg and pelvic pain so I want him out by Friday. Any suggestions?

My doctor once told me sex, walk and spicy food. You can try that :)

you can google pressure points to go into labor and there are usually videos thats what my husband did and it does bring on contractions but mine always stop after an hour or so. Maybe it would work for you since you are dilated already.
