Or saving it for tomorrow since I was told it has to be fresh pineapple. What are other ways to naturally induce?

I had my membranes swept at 38 weeks & 3 days & I was 3 cm dilated but apparently my body wasn't ready so don't upset yourself to much over it momma. If your Dr didn't want to do it it was probably for good reason! Soon enough

Membrane sweeps only work if you are 3cm dilated and over 80% effaced. And you shouldn't get one till 40 weeks or over. They said no because all it would do is make you even more miserable and put you in so much pain but not put you into labor.

I'm 38 weeks I know baby could still develop for a couple weeks but I'm miserable the past couple days I've been walking like crazy and doing anything I can to try and help this go faster. I refuse to try caster oil because it causes more problems then helping even my doctor said to avoid that.
