Walking being more active rather than relaxed ....depends on the person even hot food can work
I took primrose oil, after a fell in the tub the hospital checked to see if i was dilated at all.. I wasnt. The next day i lost my plug, and the day after that i had my daughter. I was 39w 5d
What i did was dancing. I dance zumba on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday i started feeling something. So i was not able to dance on Wednesday and Thursday morning i started having period pain. Around 12 noon i lose my plug and by 1pm i told my husband that we need to go to hospital coz d period pain is getting worse. By 2 15pm i had my son on my due date. 31st/12/15. So i will say dance
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.
Omg I'm in the same situation, 39 wks will be 40 on Wednesday the 18th and NOTHING!! I've done the walking when it's warm enough outside, cleaning, dancing & sex. I'm so over this pregnancy.
Same thing that got us here will help get us through
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!
