So What Happened?

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. I have tried pretty much everything and nothing seems to help. I am dilated to 3cm and 75% effaced. I have been having contractions for 6 days now but it never seems to amount to anything. I guess I will just have to be patient!

I had my doctor strip my membrains and has my daughter 3 days later. I told I was ready to have this baby, bcause I was in alot of pain because I was so small and I could barely walk! So talk to your doctor when you go in and just ask or demand to have it done. :)

Hey A.,
I wanted more than anything for my 3rd to come early and tried everything I could think of.(including Castor oil which i do not suggest) in the end it just made me more anxious and upset. The nipple stimulation, and sex and walking will only help if you are ready to go into labor.(as per a L&D nurse) I was induced for all 3 of my kids so i know what it is like to be ready and not be able to do anything. Just keep in mind they come when everything is right. Hope you have a quick labor. Congrats. E.

Buy very expensive non-refundable tickets to something you absolutely would hate to miss because you are in labor. That'll do it.

If it doesn't work, hey, at least you get to do go something fun while you're waiting.

Well Castor oil worked well for my sister in law, She drank a bottle of castor oil and went into labor the next day.. However I tried it when I was due and it didnt work for me but the dr says that it wont work if your not ready but if you are close it should work..

Sex (AT LEAST once every 24 hrs) is like pitocin (sp?) and walking. Congrats!

I think basically it happens when they are ready. Walking helps altho I have had some say it doesn't. Sex can trigger contractions. When are you due??? Good luck I was anxious to have my 2nd born cause I was so uncomfortable so they induced me then when I had her I am like what was the rush??? Two was a change for us but my son was younger.
