I had doctors apointment today and Im not dilating yet ,doctor told me his going to see what happends next week on my next apointment . Im due next wednesday . He said he usually dousnt let patients pass 1 week more then there due date. If next week im not progressing there going to see if I have to have c section . Im scared its my first baby I dont want get cut open. Im sad I wish everything goes good and I start dilating. Any advice on what to do ?  sometimes in the night I get braxton hicks but not super painful ones.

What has your doctor you about dilating slowly?

You're like me atm. My cervix is "angled" at the moment and I've been at a 1.5 cm forever. I'm 40w1d I walked about 8 miles last week and it got me to dilate from 0 to a 1 lol that's about it. I still don't feel contractions

Have you tried squats and walking ?

Im from the Uk and they make you wait 14days after your due date to be induced . they dont even think about a c section unless an emergecy . I find it so strange how US do it different. I hope everything goes well for you. Maybe try stimulate your nipples to see if that brings on labor . Goodluck mama
