I went into labor due to sex with my 1st so it def helps!😋

Answer

Sex doesn't necessarily start labor just FYI

Answer

I'm 38+1 and was checked today and I'm still closed too!! 😩 I'm going to get a membrane sweep on Monday only because my SO works out of town and he only has so much time off to take with the baby so we really don't want him to be overdue. She said that will only work if I'm already dilating though so I guess we will see what happens. He must be comfy 🤔

Answer

I'm 38w and no dilation either.  I don't think I'll get into the primrose oil and such. Maybe if I feel up to sex that could be an option. Till then I will just walk and try and let gravity do the work.

Answer

My midwife told me not to waste money on that stuff because it really doesn't work, baby will come when baby is ready.
She did say to help prepare your body you can walk, have sex, bounce on your yoga ball and things like that.

Answer

Most doctors don't encourage inducing yourself until you're full term or overdue, which is why she probably said no to the primrose oil capsules. Nothing is guaranteed to start labor, not even sex. There have been many stories on here lately about failed inductions at the hospital because baby simply wasn't ready. Just let your body do what it was meant to. :)
