3cm, any suggestions??

Got a pelvic exam today to see if I'm dilating any, doc says my baby girl is engaged and very very low, I'm about 3cm dilated. My due date is sept 25th but my doc says she doubts I'll make it till then. I'm just so excited to meet my baby girl!! Any suggestions to help me induce labor? What has worked for you ladies, would really like to hear your stories :))))

I was at 3cm when i got to the hospital. They made me walk around until i got to a four which is when they put u in ur delevery room. It took me four hours to dilate one cm lol so just walk all you can, it shouldnt be long. 4cm is considered active labour

Well if nothing works I'll just be getting induced on 25th but rather try and do it natural this time around, with my first I was dilated at half a cm at 40 weeks but had to be induced after his due date cause I has office gbs

Unripened papaya. My dr told me even in the early stages of pregnancy it can cause contractions. Much safer than castor oil

they say if you have sex and let the guy do you doggie style it helps, also walking!

Lol I was 1 cm at 36weeks, and just been up and down walking and having lots of sex....i think that's what helped me dilated but I'm to the point were I'm just to uncomfortable for that any more lol so I guess I'll just keep walking! And yeah I'm not up for the castor oil, will try pineapple though! Thank you and good luck to you too!! :)

Lots and lots of walking. Like literally go walking for at least an hour everyday. I also ate alot of fresh pineapple and kiwi because its supposed to help thin out the cervix. The day I had him I tried castor oil in some oj I'm the afternoon and ended up having him that night, but I know alot of people prefer not to use the castor oil.

Well, I'm only 1 1/2cm, I walked my way there, but I've been there for 2 weeks... LOL.. I'm not at 3cm yet, so I should be asking you what you did to get to 3 cm.. haha.. I guess just keep doing what you're doing though, it's working...

I have an appointment tomorrow for a NST.. I'm 40w2d today... I'm getting so impatient....

Good luck though.. sounds like you'll meet your baby girl soon...
