This is my first baby and am due on Sat.but haven't dilated at all and baby hasn't engaged any either. Just wondering what things if any have helped to get some progress made for other moms?! My dr told me there wasn't really anything I could do except wait....

    Lots of sex and lots of walking.  Sex helps because semen contains prostaglandins, which are similar to what they use to ripen the cervix prior to inductions.  The only other thing would be a membrane strip, which is something your OB would do in his/her office. 

    Most other recommendations are OWT, although I have also heard of success with acupuncture techniques. 

     

    Yep.. this is working for me... my hubby isn't one to be very patient.. lol so we've had plenty of sex lately gearing up for the 6 week wait.. (though I think it's pretty uncomfortable now too)  and I'm 80% effaced! 

    Good luck!

    I also agree with sex and walking.

    My midwife told me to try nipple stimulation and rubbing your belly with some force.  Could help contractions get started.  She said one of her patients got it going that way recently.  I'll try anything!  Good luck.

    Could be coincidence but I had acupressure yesterday and my water broke at 6:00 this morning.
