Ok, I have 3 kids already, all from 5lbs to 5 lbs 11 oz. Due to a second marrage now this baby has excess weight gain and is getting to big at 37 weeks. I have been at 3cm and 70% for a week now and can't seem to get anytihng going. Daddy is on vacation this week and would help so much with 4 other kids to have him here to start. My midwife told me to do all I can to start moving things along, but nothing is working.. walking, sex, cleaning,spicy foods and I am not using caster oil!! Any idea's please??

How about nipple stimulation? Sometimes that can get contractions going. Also the stress you are having could be holding things back. Do some relaxations, try a nice long bath. Just relax and enjoy the last days of you being pregnant. I know it is hard but it will be over soon enough.

I have the same problem. I've been dialated to a 3 for 2 weeks now! I'm 38 weeks along and getting impatient. This is my fourth child and it's driving me crazy. I didn't even dialate with my others until the week I went into labor. I wish I could help, but I know how you feel. I am seriously considering the castor oil thing. The only thing stopping me is my husband.

I spent over 18 hours in labor @ 3 cm. and ended up having a c-section. The real question of how long lies with what stage your baby is in. My son never dropped below -3 Good Luck I hope you and baby are happy and healthy

When I was pregnant w/my second child, I went in for my 39th week check-up and was 3cm dilated. I ended up going into labor on my own, the morning after my due date.

you can go from 3 to 10 fast but it all depends on that little baby and when it wants to come out! just keep trying but u still have 3 weeks and you might have to have a c-section
