I remember by this time with my 1st belly I had already started dilating and effasing, but my obgyn says everything's closed with no progress. Is this normal? Besides sex, squatting, and walking, is there something I can do to jumpstart the process? I know I should just wait but u know we get a little antsy by the end. Just need ideas!!!

You are only 36 weeks along. You still have a month left! Each baby is different and will come at their own sweet time.

Some women don't start until the last minute, don't worry. You really can;t jumpstart the process, all the things that you will hear are just myths. A normla pregnancy lasts anywhere from 38-42 weeks, so you have soem time left.

with my second i started real contractions at 38 weeks, went to the hospital and i was only at a 1... i still delivered within 4 hours.
i'd say relax!!!!! it will happen! (by the way a baby is not full term until 37 weeks)

Dont worry about it I am 38 weeks and I have no progress at all so we are in about the same boat.hopefully everything goes well and labor starts soon.
