Military wife and I need help to jump start my labor. PLEASE HELP!

[JennyBeman]

I am 38 weeks and 4 days and I have no signs at all of my daughter making her way into this world.
I have tryed walking, sex, bouncing on my exercise ball, pumping my breast, spicy food, and I am on day 3 of taking primrose oil pills 4 by mouth and 2 vaginal.

I go to the doctors tomorrow for my next check up but this last week when I went they checked me and nothing still. Doctor could feel her head and my cervix was very thin she said but no dilation.

Is there anything else I can do to help her along?
I just dont wanna go past the 25th (due date)

Because my husband is military and his leave starts sunday and is only off for 3 weeks +10 paternaty days.

They have to put in leave 6 months prior in order to be sure to get it.

Please please help me.

Also, I take the EPO that helps with softening your cervix. But, the sounds of it you are already softened completely haha.. hopefully my next appointment I will be that thin:)

I know exactly how you feel. My husband is in the Army. I am 38 1/2 weeks as well with a little girl:) Honestly, I hate to say it..but baby is going to come when your body is ready. I am 2 cm and 60% effaced. But dialation and effacement really doesnt mean anything..you can stay at 4-5cm dialated for weeks and go past your due date. All I can say, is from what I was told just keep power walking, squats and sex (semen helps soften cervix and orgasm causes contractions). I'm sure baby girl will surprise you and come soon for you!! Good luck mommy!!:)
