How can I speed things up?

Question

40 weeks and 3 days now. 2cm dilated with inconsistent contractions. My doc did a membrane sweep yesterday. 
I've been walking, drinking red raspberry leaf tea, evening primrose oil, and even tried sex. 
These contractions don't really hurt, a little uncomfortable/tight but it's hard to tell how frequent they are coming as I barely notice them and have no back pain. They must be doing something if I am at 2cm though, right?
Any other suggestions on what to do to speed things along? Does it sound like I am close?

Answer

Do a labor dance! YouTube it!

Answer

Have sex and let him ejaculate inside you, go for  long walks up hills and drink some ginger tea

Answer

Any day now! Try to have an eggplant baby 😉 http://www.scalinis.com/main-babies.html

This actually "worked" for me. But may have been coincidence. I ate this and went into labor but I was also 40+5 at the time so baby was probably ready to come anyway 😄

Answer

With my first daughter I went to the hospital with pre labor pains and they sent me home. I did house chores all the next day and my water broke that night. Just try getting active, as difficult as it is.

Answer

Why wouldn't they just induce you if your 2 cm dialated?

Answer

Oh it must be so uncomfortable and frustrating being overdue! I'm 37 weeks and I am wondering how I'm going to make it to 40 weeks. I don't have any advice but let us know if anything works! I hope your little one decides to come asap. Good luck x
