Emotionally freeking out
So i saw my doctor today and i have 8 days till my due date and im only 1 1/2 centimeters dilated i haven't changed in 3 weeks and he is a bit concerned and this is my third child with the other to labor started naturally but then faded out so i had to have pitocin to continue labor and from what he said if im still not changed or had my son bye next Thursday we are scheduling an induction. Im super nervous my oldes was born 4 days early and the middle child was a week and it seems like this one is beeing super stubborn.... its just very discouraging to know that i have been in alot of contraction pain but there not doing anything at all it has me a bit depressed and idk what to do
Most important...stay calm...its natural to go 2 weeks beyond ur due date....just keep walking a lot till then.. Evrytin will b alright...dont worry :)

I'm not worried anymore
Seeing a chiropractor who specializes in peenatal care can help too. Getting your back adjusted before can help your baby drop more and make labor shorter. Some chiropractors are trained in techniques that can help jump start labor IF baby is ready.
Keep in mind that due dates are an estimate, and the average natural pregnancy is actually 40.3 weeks long. If your baby's not ready, nothing short of a medical induction will make him come.
If you and baby are healthy, there's really no reason other than impatience to be induced early. At your next appt, I would ask your OB why he/she wants to induce you. A lot of OBs are just induction-happy, and you do have the power to say no if you are convinced by the reasoning.

Lots of walking and acupuncture worked great for me.
Look for a midwife trained in herbalism that can help you. She can suggest all sorts of herbs to help with productive contractions dilation. Good luck!
My doc hasn't said anything about it I was just wondering because me and my middle child don't share the same blood type and idk I was just thinking it could not be helping the situation but no he hasn't shown any worries about it just that im haveing contractions that are 3 to 4 min apart and they are not doing anything and that I had to be induced after starting labor naturally with my other two.
With my ither children labor started naturally but then faded out so i had to be induced and my doc was concerned about me not progressing i am just nervous cuz this is my third and i was hoping it would go differently than the other two like smother but it dosent look that way.he was my ob for the other two as well and rh negative
