38 weeks 3 days... Not dilated at all :( help!

Thanks for the comments people's. the helpful comments are appreciated, as for everyone else, I'm not the only one who has complained, so back off. Thanks.

Calm down... You are not even freaking due yet. No you cannot make yourself dilate.

walk, walk and walk some more. that is the best thing you can do. dont get discouraged now because you can go two weeks past your due date. good luck hon!

If you stick 3 fingers up your butt it'll help you dilate

I had my 1st on her due date. He will come when he is ready!

I forgot about that. I thought you had to use hot sauce as lube though for it to work?

Oh smurf I used ranch dressing

"when the fruit is ripe, the fruit will fall"....your baby will come when he or she is good and ready...your body knows what it's doing.

Do some squats, walk , have sex .. none of these will work for sure but you can always try. Me? I'm not going to spend my time doing unnecessary activities trying to rush my baby out, when I could be relaxing awaiting his arrival. I get you're feeling overwhelmed, in pain etc.. But just relax.. I'm 39 weeks only dilated 1 cm a little discouraging but oh well he'll be here soon enough !

Good luck!

Darn! Newb fail!!!

Walking and sex. It helps soften the cervix. You can go 2 weeks past your due date. Just remember that the longer they stay in the better chance they have of being healthy. Not much longer. You can also go into labor over night. Its just a waiting game now

Hang in there!! My first was 10 days past DD and my second was 3 days past DD.

Patience. You have almost 2 weeks to go yet. If your body isn't ready to give birth, nothing you do can make it happen. Just enjoy the last little bit of sleeping as long as you want lol

Drama drama. People can be so hostile when someone asks a damn question. Sheesh

If your doctor was so concerned why wouldn't he induce you? Sorry, we've all been there. Sounds like normal end of pregnancy pains.
