Somewhat confused

I've started to dilate and efface but I always feel the baby on my right side and near my ribs. Last Friday I was 2-3cm and still 80% effaced..I'm 38 weeks 5 days and I would like her to be out before my parents anniversary(May 5th). I've read on how to induce labor naturally but she stays up by my rib cage and plays with my ribs a lot. I'm just really confused on how she could he head down but play on my ribs and feel as if her body is literally in my rib cage. Any ideas or thoughts would be awesome :)

Ahh ok. She favors the right side more than anything. I was curious as to why? I'm already dilated and the doc told me that she's head down but doesn't feel like it to me whatsoever. I'm glad I'm not alone. Thank you :)

Cos of how big she is now, stretching out. I'm 40+4 and I am the same.. But I'm wondering now maybe it's cos mine has turned back to back with me -_- sadly there is no real natural way to start labour,  it happens when baby is ready or when your body is favourable and almost ready to go or when you're induced induced . Gud luck :)
