So I am a ftm 37 +2 today, just had an exam and my cervix is still really high and no dilation no effacement. My plan is to have a natural labor at a birthing center with no medical interventions. However due to high blood pressure my midwives decided it best not to let me go past 39 weeks, but an induction will pretty much ruin the natural experience I’ve really been wanting. Since I have less then two weeks left to get this going on my own I’m looking for anything else I can do to help bring on labor.

I’ve already been using red raspberry leaf tea, epo orally and as suppositories, eating lots of pineapple and dates, and getting out and walking as much as possible for weeks. Any other tried and true methods that have worked for other mamas? Also sex isn’t an option unfortunately as my husband is deployed.
