  Sadly, you can't do anything to bring on labor. You can try certain foods, sex, walking, swimming, etc, but really those are only beneficial if you're already on your way.

  I wish I could help you!

  That is how my pregnancy with my daughter was.  Never had a braxton hicks, never had a contraction.  Never dilated, never effaced, nothing.  Ended up having a csection at 41 weeks 3 days.  4 days is actually a lot of time for things to change.  They usually let you go to 41 weeks and do an NST.  Hopefully you go before then.

  Yep...I haven't done much to spur her along either. I know she will come on her own timing.

  Tiff...how are you progressing? I thought for sure you would have had your LO by now. Gosh, I hate even typing that out as I am SICK and tired of getting texts like that from my friends.

  I had some pretty rough contractions last night that actually woke me up. If only they were ALL like that, then I would totally head to L&D and be admitted. I'm 4cm so they technically can't turn me away, but I tell you... this is beyond exhausting. I've had a few more super intense ones today but not a lot. I was sure I'd have had her by now too.

  *sprinking labor dust* for you and all of us!!!

  I'm not as close to my EDD but I'm starting to know how you feel.  I'm not dilated and the baby hasn't dropped.  I'm having contractions according to the NST I had on Tuesday but I can't feel any of them.  I know I shouldn't be anxious just yet but since my dr was talking about inducing me already I'm starting to get eager for more signs that my body is ready to do this on its own!  Hang in there -- we'll all get there quite soon!!!

  Ugh, yes, right there with you. Had contrax 6 mins apart for over 2 hours last night and... nothing.  Lost my MP last Tuesday.

  I think he's never coming out!

  This is how I've been all week, including some very close together, very intense contractions Thursday morning. I was sure we'd be heading to the hospital yesterday and instead here I am at work, still having contractions. I lost my MP last week. I'm not yet 38 weeks yet so it won't hurt her to hang out longer but man it makes things miserable!
  

  I told my husband that she's just  getting us used to waiting for her.

  Well, I haven't:
  -lost my MP
  -had one single contraction
  -my dr said she's dropped, but I can't tell and part of me thinks he just said that to make me feel better b/c he could tell how upset I was
  -not dialated
  -not effaced

  I'm with you, OP. No signs of  baby wanting to come out here either. I am 1 cm and 30 percent effaced, but that doesn't mean anything. I haven't had any contractions or anything. Pretty sure our babies are perfectly satisfied where they are. So frustrating.

  Don't feel too bad!  My best friend just had her little girl about 10 days ago - 1 day before her due date, and she had not been dilated or effaced and the baby didn't even drop until she was at the hospital.  It all kind of happened at once - she went in at around 8 am and by 3 pm she had a baby.  So I know this probably won't make you feel tons better, but your baby could still come any time!

  Thank you for this!!! It does give me a glimpse of hope.

  Maybe you should make that special eggplant parm recipe from that restaurant in GA. It's worth a shot! https://www.scalinis.com/eggplant_parmigiana_babies.htm

  If I'm not progressing by my due date, DH is going to make it for me.
