39 weeks and 2 days pregnant had my doc appointment today and nothing is happening not dilating at all. I am due July 13 and and nothing is happening I'm so frustrated because I went thru the same with my other son, he was born 40w5d and I just don't wanna go thru it again.

Oh in rereading I see you are 39 weeks and 2 days.  First thought you were 38 weeks.  Anyway, baby will be here soon and it can happen fast!  I was 42 weeks when I had my first but did go from 1 cm dilated to giving birth in a day.  Good luck

Babies do come when ready and there is an end in sight!!  Hang in there.  This is your last chance for YOU time before it becomes all about baby!  I would take advantage of it. Read a good book, go to lunch with a friend, have a date with your partner, take a nap on YOUR schedule!!  All of that is about to get a lot harder.  So enjoy your last couple weeks and make it about having fun your way and spoiling yourself.  Because that becomes difficult in the throes of baby care.  Good luck

Some say Cinnamon tea work to bring labor but I've never tried it just cause my water break at 38 weeks, and right now I'm 35 weeks 4 days and I'm right now at a 1 cm thick so I've never tried anything just cause it's easier on me to have my babies. Good luck try lots of squats or having more sex.

By 37 weeks I was .5 centimeters dilated and my cervix was 80% effaced. But once I hit 38 weeks I walked like crazy. I made my husband go with me every night to Walmart to walk around(and I mean speed walk). Not sure how you feel but I also did jumping jacks and squats. My son was born at 39 weeks weighing 7lbs 12oz
