Relax. Don't do anything that can hurt your baby. I took Evening Primrose Oil Capsules. They help to soften the cervix and are natural so they won't harm you or the baby. Sex will do the same thing caused by a hormone in semen. Walking doesn't do anything for you until you're already in labor. I walked every day for two straight months before my doctor told me not to bother. There's really not much you can do. Baby will come when he's ready. Don't rush him. Besides, you'll be happier afterward if it started naturally. If something happens during labor you'll never know if you caused it or not. Know what I mean?

i remember those days. i was so excited to have my baby girl!! i tried everything to induce labor. finally a 40 weeks and 2 days i went into labor... and u kno what? still wasnt dialated!! lol. i was in so much pain and having unbearable contractions but not even thinning out. but i had a c-section in the end. trust me, when the time is right he will be here. and no one knows when that time will be except for him. unless u have a schedualed c-section. lol. be patient and get LOTS of rest. u will deffinately be needing it!!

I was 1 cm 4 days before my due date. You don't dilate until your body and the baby is ready. Relax and enjoy your last few weeks before your baby comes so you are ready to enjoy your son. He will be healthier the longer you wait.

Sorry unless your doctor says different that baby is staying in there until he is ready. I was two weeks over due so good luck. I almost charged him rent.

Sex, sex, and moreeeee sex! Orgasm can trigger contractions, as well as semen has a natural hormone in it that helps thin the cervix. They say brisk walking helps,,,I've heard spicy food-but am not sure on that one. Caster Oil works for sure, but there is no way I would-just because I'm a chicken that it would do something,,,plus I've heard it makes you more miserable because you have to deal with diarrea cramps on top of the already not so enjoyable pain. I'm sooooooooo right there with you...I'm miserable! Ready to get this baby out of me! Good luck to you!

WALK!! My son is two months old and the day before my water broke, I walked for about 2 hours. And the next day I had a beautiful baby boy. It works!!

you people amaze me with your "dialating".
the word is "dilating"
and of course you're not DILATING. you're only 37 weeks. You've been WANTING a preemie for about 2 weeks now. chill out woman.

there are no ways. i went to 42 weeks w/ no dialation. i tried sex, eating the spiciest mexican food, playing "dance dance revolution", drinking caster oil..nothin worked.
just chill

Sex. So long as you aren't so big that you crush your hubby underneath you, climb on top and do the deed!

Don't worry it will happen.. Well you could walk alot. Have intercourse. Or do what I did.. Some bike biker picked me up and squeezed me that night I went into labor. But don't rush it.. trust me it only gets harder!
