Getting impatient

So I am 38+ weeks, went to the doctor yesterday, had internal and he said that the baby is in position but I have not dilated anything and cervix is still tight. Help, what else can I do besides walking and have sex?

    Sorry but there isn't a damn thing you can do. It sucks, I know, but your body will decide when it's time. But it is a good excuse for some exercise and sex!

    I tried the special chocolatecake, the eggplant parmigiana, swinging on a swing, pineapple ... so yeah ..

    DH mentioned something about beets. I guess that's what I am having for dinner. I like them, so I guess it wont hurt ....

    This is my first child... I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING! that's pretty much my pregnancy in a nutshell. I'm at 39 weeks today. My Ob said at the beginning of the month "I'm very close". i was suppose to be done last week but now she's just told me today that i might actually make it to 41 weeks! How frustrating :/ I very much wish there was just a set date i could KNOW and just be excited for that day. It's just a guessing game aaaand so far i'm a terrible guess. All i do know... DON'T DRINK THE CASTOR OIL!!!

    Work on your patience. Honestly that's the healthiest and most beneficial thing you can do. Nothing will bring on labour if your body isn't ready - nothing. I learned that the hard way with my first. I was set in my head to have him at 37 weeks. He wasn't born until 40w4d. This time around I have focused solely on remaining patient and enjoying the last few weeks/days of pregnancy. Sounds hokey and lame but its the best thing for your sanity.

    The best thing you can do is REST. Watch movies. Read. Relax. Spend time doing NOTHING and enjoying the baby kicking in your belly. It will come when it's ready!

    I wasn't dialated at all at my last appointment with DS... He came a matter of days later and I was a 4 when I got to the hospital!!

    Just wait until baby is ready to arrive. And remember that things can change at the drop of a hat so just because you aren't dilated right now doesn't really mean anything, you could still go into labor tomorrow.

    I'm only 30 weeks and I'm starting to get impatient. I'm feeling pretty over being pregnant today.
