I need advice... I'm 38 weeks and 3 days with my 3rd.. 5-6 cm dilated (can stretch to 6) and 90% effaced.. I'm having irregular contractions that aren't making cervical changes but my midwife stripped my membranes yesterday and I had my bloody show. I know walking and sex are probably the best things to encourage labour but I don't want to start contracting again and not make any cervical changes and be sent home because I'm not 39 weeks and really do not want have to be induced with pitocin (sp), anyone have any advice? I've tried squats,pineapple,raspberry tea,walking,exercise ball,nipple stimulation... Etc but haven't done any of it since I've been stripped again for fear of it not causing active labour
