^^agreed! You're almost done, sex just gives me painful contractions all day but no labor, so no more of that:P

Nothing helped at all for me. At 39 weeks I got a membrane sweep the next day at 9:40 am my water broke and had a beautiful baby girl. They wont come until they are ready

Honestly just wait it out I know it's taboo to say but if you're baby isn't ready he or she won't come any sooner

I'm 39 weeks and dilated to 2, 70% effaced. Lost mucus plug. Prelabor contractions and no baby.

Sex and birthing balls  supposedly helps but hasn't done much for me
