Help labor along?

I'm currently 38 weeks and 4 days I went to my appointment and was told I am 4-5 cm dilated 75% effaced. Just wondering what I can do to help labor along? I been losing mucus plug all day

You don't need to rush your labor hun.  Just be patient. You're already 25% away from being completely effaced and you're halfway there of being 10cm. You'll be having your baby before of by Christmas. Congratulations to you and I hope that you have a safe delivery!

Wow I am so jealous of you! I'm 39 + 2 and I'm only 50% effaced. Not dilated at all. You can take evening primrose oil. It may help you since it sounds like your body is definitely ready for labor.

Man, am I envious of you! I'd start walking like crazy and if sex is an option, have it!
