39 weeks + 4 days and no dilation

posted 17th Jul
I had high blood pressure today and the doctor told me to go in to L&D because he might take me in and induce labor although we have it scheduled for monday. I am not dilated at all and my blood pressure went back to normal so he let me go home. How the hell do i make it dilate besides walking and sex....which we've tried already. He also said my iron was low and that I might need a blood transfusion and 50% chance that it'll have to be a c-section. I'm having contractions every 5 minutes but don't feel them at all. What should I do to get this baby going?

walking does not bring on labor, it only increases the contractions. NO MATTER WHAT YOU HEAR THAT IS TRUE! i had a nurse tell me yesterday that walking only increases labor. sex is something that really works because it softens the cervix. just have sex a lot. and its fun too

Nipple stimulation worked for me.

Do it until it hurts but that feeling you get that feels like a conection between them is a good sign. It releases the natural hormone that helps with labor.

Good luck
