Im 39 weeks today and have also been getting false contractions...ive just started taking evening primrose oil and have also inserted a capsule in my cervix..I ooened the capsule..and then had sex after (which I hate at the moment as so uncomfortable! ) and I have lost some of my mucous plug. Evening primrose oil softens the cervix making labour and delivery easier and quicker apparently. .and reduces chances of tearing so this is why I am doing it. Some women say it has bought on labour also :)
I'm going thru the same thing, but I have my csection next Thursday regardless if I'm dilated or not.
