I am 38 1/2 wks pregnant and have been having contractions for over 3 wks. I have been dialated 3cm 50% effaced for over 2 wks now with no changes. I have major pressure in my pelvic area and as akward as this may sound honestly I feel like I have been riding a horse! This morning I had bloody show and this afternoon still nothing!!! I thought this was all the signs of labor but no baby! Any idea how to get things moving along?

I went for a 4 mile walk came home and had sex. Within 24 hours I had my baby in my arms. That worked with both of my children. Good Luck

It sounds like you are close. Everyone told me to jump start labor, to walk around. When I did, it did start some contractions, but didn't put me into labor. That might work for you, though. According to my doctor, when I told him I was having pressure, similar to what you are having, he said that means the baby is moving down and getting ready. I would say it shouldn't be too teribly long before you went into labor. People also say to eat spicy food, but that didn't work either.

Walk walk and walk, try vaccuuming the floor and stay moving, go shopping and walk around the mall, just watch for signs of labor, back pain radiating to the front, But keep moving, sounds to me like your labor is going to be fast so be prepared, and dont walk alone have someone with you just in case something starts.

there are alot of ways ppl say work but who knows if it realyl works
*i have heard if you drink a malt with extra malt powder it sends you into labor( my sister swears this is how she went into labor)
*another method that worked for me and my cousin right away was castor oil. i drank a little bit and was in labor not a half hour later. my cousin drank soem and was in labor 2 hours later... i heard this works for every one....
*try walking p and down the stepss...
* good luck on your baby.
oh yeah a nice sign of labor is water breaking it feels like a gush of water everywhere... and alot of pressure down low like you have to hav a bowl movement

First of all, GO DRINK WATER! Being even the slighest bit dehydrated, even if you don't think you are, can cause contractions. And if you see ANY amount of blood CALL YOUR DOCTOR. You need to try to get as close to 40 weeks as you can, my best advice is drink plenty of water, and call your doctor.

Walk up and down some stairs or walk around in general. If that doesn't work, maybe have sex. Also you could try drinking castor oil.

Call your doctor and tell them about the bloody show. They may want you to come in and get checked just to be sure.

go in and have them hook you to the machine for a little bit. Another thing to consider is has it felt like youve peed at all?
