so desperate :( someone help

[sweetbee1994]

Ftm of 39 wks n 5 days I've walked a lot and bounced on the birth ball and nothing seems to be working. My dd is in 3 days and I'm only a fingertip dilated 50% effaced and I'll be induced after next week if nothing happens and I don't want that I'm so scared. Can anyone give me some tips on what helped induce their labor at home or something? I've had real bad lower back pains for the past two days and uterus pains too but idk that its anything serious. Help please :(

I dont wanna wait till 42 cause I'm afraid he might get bigger and it'll be harder for me to have him.

I wasn't induced with my son till 42 weeks. He decided to come right before induction :)

Can you ask your doctor to delay the induction? I had my first at 40 weeks and 5 days. See if they will let you go to 41 weeks before talking about inducing. I was not dilated at all at 40 weeks. When I went into labor I was only a 2. 12 hours later my daughter was born. It sounds like your body is reacting to everything you are trying. Keep it up try and relax. You can do this momma.

Stress can hinder labor. Relax, continue what you're doing with the walking and birth ball. Try nipple stimulation, sex, and dancing. You can also do squats. You're so close:)
