Frustrated

I was due on the 15th and still have no sign of labor. My Dr doesn't want to induce me if possible so we are waiting until I'm 42 weeks for that option. Still no bloody show and I'm not dilated enough for a membrane sweep. Anyone have some good advice on how I can help this stubborn baby along?

Have you tried evening primrose oil? I wasn't effaced or dilated any for weeks, then I read about inserting one before bed. I did this and the next day I was effaced a bit and I kept doing it each night for a week and I started to lose my plug.. its worth a try if you feel up to it :)
Fingers are crossed for you!

No advice, just in that same position, not dilated, no bloody show, no signs whatsoever and doc doesn't want to even try a sweep until 41 weeks
