New here...

I am 38 weeks pregnant with my 3rd boy 4th child. I am due April 20th. I am currently 2cm dilated 50% effaced and -3 station. I have been losing pieces of my mucous plug .. Kinda looks like SLIMER blew his nose in my toilet paper.. It's Greenish in color.... (Sorry TMI) .. Anyway, Is there anything I can do to help with dilation or get things going ? I have been walking ( when it's not raining), sex when I can, and taking EPO ( Evening primrose oil) both orally and vaginally.... I am just really miserable. I have a herniated disc, and due to the weight of the baby it could potentially make me paralyzed on my left side if he get's much bigger and my spine Dr. has told my OB to induce because I could lose the whole left side of my body but she won't do it until I'm 39 weeks...... Not to mention he has a dilated kidney... :( What else can I do ?

I'm sorry to hear that you are going through this. What I have read is baby will come when ready but some say eating spicy foods, pineapple help. I tried eating pineanpple didn't notice anything, although she did come a week before she was due, I also walked a lot and towards the end I did a lot of uphill walks. Hopefully things will get better.
