anything yall recomend?

m due in 2 days, im not dilated at all or anything i have some contractions that just always stop. Do yall recommend anything i can do to help dilate me? A work out a dance? Idk just anything, i am walking but anything else y'all have heard that works to help with dilation. Or anything i can eat or do to help make contractions real, other than castor oil of corse. Im not willing to take that unless i go over due for to much since i dont want to get induced. Any advice will help as i am soo frustrated that im not progressing. Haven't even lost my plug or anything, but i know that doesnt always happen. So anyone? Please and thax in advance:)

Try drinking a bit of ginger tea. If it works on you you'll start getting contractions and will have your baby in no time. My sister did it and she had her baby girl the same night.

I highly encourage a membrane sweep. My doctor does a check every week during my check up. Baby is due Thursday. Not dialated much but i do encourage sex and plenty of walking. Just don't overdo it ladies. You'll need the energy for going into labor. Good luck ladies!

I tried talking to him, it gets me even more depress when he say no to me all the time! I even asked my.ob about sex right in front of me and she said it was completely safe and actually helps! I guess he just feels weird about it. One day im just going to literally "rape" him lol. He Is my husband right haha

Yeah ask your doctor about that. Yeah I kno the feeling. I didn't feel like doing it either I just was so anxious to see my baby. I told my Husband to get what he wanted lol just for the benefit of me having the semen for my cervix. Crazy as that sounds it worked for me.  Awww but tell him he cant hurt the baby

I guess depends on the doctor. Yes different positions since its harder to have sex now lol. Honestly its not even a pleasure for me any more, i hate it i dislike it so much. Im just doing this to help me and i have to even beg my husband for it since he says he feels like hes hurting his son and me.

Good luck on the induction! I personally dont want that

My doctor just done it on his own lol but you could ask.  Depends on your doctor they might just use it if you are over due but I wouldn't hurt to ask. You did sex from different positions too, I'm sure lol
