MrsMama is right, sex is great to try -- seman has some of the same chemicals as pitocin and stimulating your nipples may also help things along. Other methods include going for a long walk, and eating spicy food (which will stimulate your bowels, which may start you up).
I'd be careful about doing anything on purpose to break your water, since that won't necessarily start contractions and can increase the risk of infection. It's the contractions you want, and this is not necessarily linked to your water breaking. Hopefully you have a lovely fall weekend with nice weather so you can try some of this out and have some fun before your little one comes along.

I would've asked my OB to scratch the membranes. I had this done, and my water broke the next day. If you're already beginning to dilate, you probably have another appointment within the next few days.
Using anything else right now, might not have good effects. There are many ways to soften the cervix so it will begin to dilate, that's usually the goal. After that, we ask to go to the hospital to finish off the process.
Black/blue cohosh is dangerous. Evening primrose oil is meant to soften the cervix, yours is already there so the oil won't do anything. Besides, I think it has a funny smell to it. I wouldn't suggest sex right now, in case your water breaks. Also, don't use a breast pump to stimulate contractions, baby will need the colostrum. Plain nipple stimulation rarely works, and studies show that it takes a good 3 hours a day to do anything. And that anything, is just a few light contractions. Walking around would be ok, if you're comfortable doing so. It may speed it up.

I misplaced my plug two weeks earlier than going into hard work. But for the reason that you're dilated to two you would be nearer than I was once. Whatever you do, do not use castor oil. This can rationale your little one to poop and would rationale severe issues if ingested. My recommendations are, running, cleansing, like to your fingers and knees scrubbing the ground, and extra intercourse I bet. You would additionally take a look at nipple stimulation. You ought to do it for decades for it to quite paintings regardless that. If you've a breast pump you would use it. nonetheless in the event you get whatever giant pumped out put it aside within the freezer for little one. Just take a look at to not burn up your whole vigor looking to carry hard work after which turn out to be too exhausted to do the truly paintings. Another concept, might your general practitioner be inclined to urge you given the situations?

If you are healthy enough and the doc allows it - start walking, walk walk walk. Or get your husband/boyfriend and get busy if you know what I mean.
But honestly enjoy these last few days as much as possible. It is the last quiet days you will have for a while. And try to get some sleep, you will be craving it soon enough.

Sex will help. What I did was walked an hour and a half and had sex. Then I went to the hospital and had my baby.
