so anxious!

I'm due on the 15th and still only dialated one cm. I really don't want to be induced because I would rather him just come naturally on his own. What's a safe way I could speed up the process?

Research has eased my mind on talking castor oil it had worked for so many people and the risk to the baby have not been a proven fact

Don't take castor oil, i hear only bad things about that! Your baby will come, no need to worry. And that you aren't dilated or anything, does not mean a thing: you can go weeks with few cm opening and hard bellies, but you can also go from nothing to full labour in a few hours. And as someone who went from nothing to some opening, dropped baby and constant hard bellies: it is really oncomfortabele and tireing being like this for several days straight (since sunday night, gyn said any moment now on monday, but still the same niw on Thursday). Nothing to full on labour sounds amazing to me now lol. But i try do what i did before: relax and take it easy. I advise you to do the same (it worked for me lol)

You can refuse induction up until 42 weeks. So you still have plenty of time :)

I'm due the 15th and my doctor has yet to check me ! I can say so far braxton hicks contractions start up the most if you walk and I mean like walk for blocks with some stair climbing you'll feel it

I'm due on the 17th so I know how you feel I'm still closed not dialated at all I've been walking having sex eating pineapple nipple stimulation and foot massages and still nothing I go back on Friday and will determine if I need to be induced... I may try castor oil on  Friday If all else fails good luck
