Help me get this baby out!!

Hi I'm currently 37+2 pregnant with my second, I'm suffering extreme polyhdronios :( I've been told that doctors won't induce or break my waters till I'm 40+ weeks I think this is unfair!! I'm so uncomfortable I can't hardly look after my lil boy who is only 2 :( I'm struggling!! I'm only 5ft so I look like I'm about to explode and I have the worst stretch marks ever! My last pregnancy wasn't easy either I had my lil boy 6weeks early so this is unknown territory to me. Is there ANYTHING you can recommend that I can do to get this labour going I've been getting pains all day but they seem to be dying down :/ I need to have this baby soon I'm so uncomfortable so anything you can recommend could really help thanks xx

You can try everything under the sun but if your baby isn't ready then he won't come.... So you might as well try and relax and rest as much as possible

I really wish there was something :/ my first two were on time but im now 5 days overdue and literally have tried it all :/ probably what u dont want to hear but youl go out of your mind trying it all if none works. Have you asked when theyl do a membrane sweep? It worked with my second when i was 1cm but i was 2cm last week and still no baby. Maybe get a second opinion?xo
