I'm right there with you. I'll be 40 weeks on the 19th. I went to my Dr appointment on Thursday and I was 4cm opened to on Friday I went walking and had sex and I got contractions that night, so I figured baby was coming ,nope!!!contractions stopped. I started my day today with a walk and ended it with a warm bath but still no baby. Ugh!!! I feel you.

Drink red leaf tea- or hook the breast pump up to your boobs for 10 minutes intervals- that will stimulate contractions.  Also evening primrose oil-poke a hole in the top and out 2-4 in your vaginal canal nightly it will soften your cervix.  Have your OB strip your membranes it will help stimulate labor!

Where do I get that at? And I just rub it where ?
Ugh. Tried that with my second. Only thing it did was put me in the bathroom all day. Not to mention it was hard to swallow.

You fell in the tub? Where can u buy primrose oil at?
Cvs,  or any drug store. Ya i slipped baby was fine tho no problems. I think it was the combo of the peimrose and being checked that pushed me into labor.. U take 3 by mouth a day and then insert one into ur vagina and its supposw to thin ur cervix

Walking being more active rather than relaxed ....depends on the person even hot food can work
