HELP! 38+4DAYS PREGNANT

I'm so done being pregnant Im 2cm dilated but doctor says Im still 'thick' what does that mean? Anything I can do to help jump start labor on my own? Doctor wont strip my membrance (spell ck) cuz she says all it will do is make me bleed and start cramping :(

Sex. Your cervix is still thick meaning that you haven't effaced. The cervix is shaped like a tunnel and it gets shorter when labor is close. Sex can help in 2 ways. The contractions brought on by orgasm can help. So can the prostaglandins in semen. This is a case of what got you into this can get you out. :)
