Sorry what are dates lol ?
Thanks ladies, I'm now 4-5cm and fully effaced however I'm just not having regular contractions.
Cervix is all ready to go, baby is very low with bulging waters. Just need these contractions to kick off properly....
I was 3 cm at 36 weeks and 3-4 at 37 weeks but I was not effaced at all I was told. I had my baby 5days later(38weeks) with 3hours of active labor and 5mn of pushing and it was my 2nd as well. I was eating at least one pineapple and mango everyday the last week with some dates. I am pretty sure it helped which is why my labour was sooo short. I was using EPO since week 35 tho and I had no tear with no epidural. I hope I answer your question, good luck.
Look up some homeopathics, and drinking pineapple juice and eating dates help egg on labour
I've heard some say that Evening Primrose works and you can take it by mouth and vaginally.
