what has worked for you?

Trying to get labor going, or help cervix begin to dilate & baby to keep moving down. What has worked for others who are ready to have their baby?

Im 39 weeks and ive tried every suggested method...sex, walking, oj and whole milk, castor oil (i do not suggest this one), red raspberry leaf tea, evening primrose oil, and had my membranes scraped twice!  I tried all of that starting at week 38 and nothing has happened...ive been 3 cm dilated, 40% effaced, babys head is engaged, and super super soft cervix.  Im living proof that if body and baby are not ready for labor, then nothing will work!   Hang in there and try ro be patient,  god knows im not followimg my own advice very well!  Lol
