Okay please don’t say SEX… I already know that helps but my partner is ” too stressed” and my whole pregnancy he has only had sex with me 6 times! ( I’m not happy about that! )
Next let me say castor oil is not an option for other reasons.
I’ve been walking 20min to several hours every day!
At only 50% thinned I need anothere 50%
So I’m not dehydrated I made sure of that.
I got a pedicure and an acupuncture massage. Now I have no money. And she is still not coming out!

Google “prodromal labor” and read!
My friend had a hot curry at an Indian restaurant with her first child, and went into labour at 8am the next morning (a very sensible time to go into labour, I might add!)
Anyway, she is due again this week, and they’ve already made reservations at the same restaurant, in the hopes that it will happen again LOL
If you don’t like Indian or Pakistani food, try spicy Mexican or Thai.
Sounds like a very pesky case of braxton hicks contractions. If the baby isn’t ready to come out, sex and walking isn’t going to do it for you. Nothing will if the baby isn’t ready. However, you may want to try Nipple Stimulation, those do bring on contractions (and if you do it correctly, it will throw you into labor). Just google “Nipple Stimulation Techniques” and read how to do it.
By the way, you’re smart for not doing castor oil. All it will do is make you sick and have diarrhea.
Im afraid that baby will come when she’s ready regardless of when your ready.
RELAX-Sounds so stupid but im serious. Being stressed, feeling emotionally uncomfortable or having any emotional blockages can slow or stop labour. Just stop stressing and just get into positions that help better with the pain like all fours, bean bag, birthing ball, lower back massage etc. Watch a FUNNY movie, or maybe just relax with your partner and chat…have a nice dinner…enjoy yourself (i know it;s hard but you really need to )

Honey, she is not coming out because you are putting her and you through so much stress.
Why don’t you just try and relax, and let nature take it’s course, I know it is frustrating, I have been there and done that also, but you can’t sit there and yell at your belly to “scare” them out, you have to let them come into the world when they are ready.
Stop wasting money and getting all stressed out and just relax and let nature take its course.
My daughter, Bailey was overdue by a week and I did everything and anything and still nothing, until one day, she just wanted to arrive.
Two days before she was scheduled to be induced, she must have heard the doctor say that!!!
Just relax, when it is time, it will happen!
Oh you poor thing!! Be where someone can help you, like hubby, and hold your belly and jog in place or really power walk. Drink lots of warm prune juice (this will take the place of castor oil.
I did castor oil, prune juice, my husband and I went hiking (small incline, nothing dangerous), I jogged in place, power walked, lots of sex. I had my dr strip my membranes twice and in 4 days my baby was here.
Hope this helps!
can your doctor induce labor? or c-section?
If they were REAL contractions, you would of had your baby by now. They’re obviously painful braxton hicks. My daughter went through this from 32 to 38 weeks.
When it’s REAL labor, you’ll know.
