When did you go into labor with your first?

Question

How far along were you when you went into labor with your first? 🤔
& suggestions? 
FTM, currently 37+4 & I just want him here already lol. I get slight contractions randomly, I was dilated to at least a 1 & 25% effaced last Wednesday, he was head down and super super low, and I’m pretty sure I’ve lost my mucus plug a few times. My OB gave me the okay to try the EPO so I’ve been taking that orally 1,000 mg a day since last Wednesday and I’ve been walking. Anything else you would recommend to get this process going faster? (He’s measuring ahead and I’m rather small so I’m scared to go full term). Baby daddy isn’t around so the whole sex thing isn’t gonna happen, I don’t have anyone to help me out on that one lol. 
I know “he will come when he’s ready” & blah blah, so please if you’re going to be rude or don’t have suggestions, don’t bother commenting, I think you all know what it’s like to get toward the end and get impatient and nervous. 😅 My OB gave me the okay to try anything I think would work besides castor oil, sooo shoot your suggestions in the comments pleaseee!

Answer

Try dancing. Look up on YouTube “inducing labor dance” & give it a try! I heard a lot of people went into labor right after

Answer

With my first my water broke at 39wks exactly. I had a csection the next day. No dilation prior to water breaking. I was 1cm when I got to hospital 6 hours after water broke. Was stuck between 5-6 and because water was broken 24hrs risk of infection went up and I had the csection.

Answer

I went into labor at 38+5 with my first. I waked every day, did squats, had lots of sex (sperm will soften the cervix) drank red raspberry leaf tea and took evening primrose oil orally. Just remember baby will come when ready!! 💜

Answer

I went into labor at 39+6 and delivered at 41+1. She didn’t want out, but walking was the only thing that seemed to help, her head was super low for a while. My cousin went into labor after a long hike.

Answer

i was 38+4 when my water broke

Answer

I was 40 weeks exactly. The two days before that we went walking for 30 minutes! And then when I was I. Labor my midwife had me so curb stepping. I was a 5 when I arrived at their birth center and had been in labor 9 hours already and 2 hours after arriving I was at an 8!

Answer

40 + 2. Wasn’t showing any signs of labour at 40 and then bang it just happened. Less than 8 hrs of contractions and had him not even an hour after arriving at the hospital.

Answer

With my first I gave birth at 41+3 weeks, I was induced at 41 weeks and it took 3days for it to work for me (I had contractions but wasn’t dilating). I tried EVERYTHING and I mean everything to get him out but he wasn’t budging. I walked and walked, ate spicy food, squats, tried a pizza that’s supposed to make you go into labor, sex daily even though it was super uncomfortable, and lots of water
