Tricks for softening and thinning cervix

in 3rd Trimester

I went to the Dr. yesterday and I am 2cm dilated and my cervix is soft but still long and thick.  My BP has been creaping up the last couple appointments so we are going to have another ultrasound on Monday to see how LO and fluids are looking.  She is considering inducing next week so I am trying to find ways to thin my cervex so LO comes on his own before she wants to induce.  Last night I was having a lot of contractions but nothing consistent.

Does anyone have any ticks or heard anything the is suppose to help with this?

 

Thanks!!

    sex & evening primrose oil (inserted vaginally) are what are used most frequently.

    I don't know if I have just been "lucky" in the past- but I walked a lot and took a lot of baths.  Nipple stimulation is also a way to get things going...it's a lot to handle though!

    Nipple stimulation terrifies me...I touch my boob with my arm at night rolling over and question crying. I guess I should put on my big girl panties and get over it...breastfeeding is gonna hurt.
