just have to be patient

So I have come to the conclusion that this little guy is stubborn just like mommy & daddy! Lol I started having really bad cramps & contractions last night & they didn't go away after almost 12 hours so I decided to go in. They hooked me up & checked for dilation & I was still at 2cm - wasn't changing & I was still contracting pretty bad. They ended up sending me home & I am just beyond exhausted waiting & waiting for him to come. So.. it's all up to him! I'm not gonna try & force it any longer & he will come when he wants to! ♡

Yupp he is Def head down! He's Pretty Low too because each time she does a cervical check, she can touch his little head! Lol
My girlfriend told me I could try primrose oil because it helped her thin out more causing her to dilate... if it doesn't work, that's okay because I also heard that it actually will help with labor when you push & it can prevent tearing! So I will try this tomorrow & see what happens!

Welcome to the club :) I've come to the same conclusion last week. I was scheduled for a c-section because he wouldn't drop and I wouldn't dilate. Then at my pre-surgery check-up he dropped a bit and I dilated to 2cm. So my c-section got cancelled. This was last Thursday. Tomorrow I have my next appointment but I don't think there has been much progress: had some blood yesterday when I wiped (but definitely not the mucus plug yet) and some cramps a couple times during the day, but I am not even sure anymore that they were pre-labor cramps. Up until last week I tried almost all natural ways to induce labor but absolutely nothing helped. My little boy will come whenever he wants to. We are all ready for him :)
I am 39 weeks and 5 days now. I've heard the later they come the healthier and smarter they are. So, let's let them take their time.

Rest if you can. I also found leaning over a chair or swiss ball on my knees helpful. Are the sure baby is head down?
all the best. As hard as it is find something to take your mind off it for a while go for a walk, watch a movie at home, bake or even do some craft, get a friend over for a coffee and chat about every thing and anything. I had a long Labour with number one and wish I had the ability to take my mind off like it like I did with number 2.  
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
