Braxton hicks can help dilate you 2 though, I will keep you in my thoughts I hope you get to labor soon, I understand being super uncomfortable I'm right there with you.

Yes unfortunately I have & still nothing.... I tried the pumping today too... 2 different times... braxton Hicks (I think) & sore ass nipples is all that's happened so far. the braxton Hicks haven't stopped yet so I'm hopeful but I still don't think anything is gonna happen... 😭 @babybenson2016

have you tried using primrose oil? you take it by mouth and also put it in down there it's supposed to soften the cervix and encourage dilation

I did it for about 10 minutes then took a break and put some coconut oil on my nipples then another 10 minutes or so

how long did u pump for? and Yes I been at 3.5 cm & 70% effaced for almost 4 weeks now.... I'm miserable and desperate @babybenson2016

your 38 weeks already so your considered full term, I also recommend the red raspberry leaf tea, and squats I know there hard to do but I am 2cm and 75% effaced I'll be 38 weeks tomorrow.

I did this yesterday, it didn't really do anything but cause a few Braxton hicks. I had started leaking that morning and decided to pump last night and save the colostrum in the freezer

Don't push the baby. Baby will come when they are ready. Early labor can have damaging effects! Just rest and let baby come when it's ready!

I agree with @kmally. If you're ready then go for it but i also heard that your actual milk doesn't come in till after the baby is born. I also heard (and seen from my cousin) that when she didn't pump she would rub her nipples or tmi but have her boyfriend suck them and it helped as well.

It just made my nips bleed and crack!

If your body is ready then yes, it can help induce labor. Don't do it for very long. 5-10 minutes or so.
