What can I do to get labor started?

Question

What can I do to get labor started. I’ve been walking, having sex, and drinking red raspberry leaf tea. Last time I was checked I was 1 cm dilated and my cervix is soft. I’m so ready for this baby to be here already. Any info on what you ladies did would be helpful and appreciated 😊

Answer

I've been doing nipple stimulation here and there and every day that I do it something happens. It hasn't started labor yet, but I think it has been the reason my mucus plug started coming out and my cervix started thinning. Everytime I do it, I lose more mucus those days. I just haven't been super consistent about it or spent a ton of time doing it because I'm only 38 weeks and I'm only trying to do a little to help speed things up. I want him to come when he's ready.
