Help!?!?

[Destine_Turner]

I'm not due til sep. 1st but I have no dilation nothing at all so I was wondering if anyone knew any natural ways to help kinda kick start something I'm a ftm so I don't really know anything that will help to get things going I would rather do something natural then to have to have medication to induce me I want it to be all natural. Thanks in advance.

Evening primrose oil, insert them vaginally and it helps this out the cervix I've been using them since 34 wks and at my last appt I was 2cm dilated and 80% effaced I think I'm more by now

Refuse the induction if you don't want one. They are only recommended at 42 weeks (through evidence-based research - any earlier, and it's a litigation based recommendation) and even then you just need to check fluid levels and placenta quality in a scan (an independent scan would be better - my midwife said a lot of doctors just tell you your fluid is too low or placenta is too old anyway, even if it's not, so they get your baby out and stop waiting).
When baby's lungs are ready it will release a hormone to kick start labour... It depends more on your baby than you! But unprotected sex (to soften cervix and promote contractions) and walking (for engaging baby's head) and that scrubbing position mentioned above (for encouraging an anterior position in baby) are great ways to prepare yourself for when baby decides it's ready :)
