I am perfectly healthy and so is my baby girl. This is my second pregnancy. The Dr. gave me the go ahead if I was to go into labor. He says baby and me will be perfectly fine. I've been walking, but not sure if it's working. Not too confident in the castol oil method. Sex is out of the question (hubby not into at this stage;)) I don't think I've lost my plug either. Not really sure though.
Please only answer seriously. And don't tell me to wait. Just looking for new ways to get labor to progress.
Thanks for any help

Prostaglandin gels from the doctor
If you just want hubby to help and he's not up for intercourse, go the pinching/suckling of the nipples. This will stimulate oxytocin and can cause uterine contractions.
(Whoever gave me the thumbs down - check the source - ask any OBGYN you like)

The advice of nipple suckling is true....
Hope not to offend anyone but you don't need your hubby to have sex....how about an adult toy? Just a suggestion. Or how about a warm bath? Yes, I realize some don't recommend a bath for various reasons....do some research & ask your Dr.
Have you asked your Dr. how long he will wait prior to considering induction? At least this will give you an idea how much longer you'll have to wait either way.
I am sure you know to be careful with your choices & be patient. BEST WISHES!

I'm sure you would know if your plug fell out. It's kinda hard to miss don't ya think? As for methods walking, sex, and perhaps spicy food. But heart burn isn't pleasant, so I don't know if that is a good idea. I know you don't want to hear it, but baby will come when baby is ready, so just let nature take it's course. We all get very anxious to get baby out at this point, but sometimes there's just nothing you can do to speed things up.

If hubby wont do it, try and do it yourself I know this might sound crazy, but has a great track record. DO NOT listen to people about castor or mineral oil, this can be very harmful to you and your baby girl!!!

It doesn't matter if your husband is into it or not. He got you into this now he can suck it up and give you some to get you out of it. I swear I started having contractions the next day after me and my husband had sex. He should be able to see how miserable you are and want to help. My husband wasn't that into it either at the end.

Any nurse will tell you: WALK! the faster the better...when women are in labor at the hospitial, they walk them up and down the hallways since it speeds up labor..I did this twice and it worked

my cousin told me that mild exercise work like jumping jacks when your cervix begins to dilate because the baby is already sitting on your cervix so the added pressure helps to dilate you sooner

You'll not like it - but WAIT - it will happen when your body is ready. You're already 2cms - it could be any time, or it could take another few weeks (yes, I know that is not what you want to hear, but it's true).

just wait and let it happen on its own
