@workingmom55, I know but as of last Wednesday they told me I was 4cm dilated and 50% effacted .

The only thing that works is waiting it sucks so bad trust me I know! I wasn't dialated or effaced and my first son came on his due date. None of that stuff people tell you about work it only stressed me out more when it wouldn't. Try to relax baby will be here soon! Good luck!

you're only 38 weeks, baby may not be ready for a couple more weeks

Lol you have to eat a shit ton of pineapple, and kiwis also work. Like someone was telling me NOT to eat kiwi because I will put myself in labor... girl you have to eat like 7 entire fresh pineapples and like 30 kiwis for that to actually happen..

I tried all of that to from when I was 36 weeks on and my little girl didn't come until I was 39 weeks and 1 day hahaha I heard raspberry tea also but it has to be the actual stuff not the kind brisk makes :) I didn't try the tea but good luck!! Hope it helps! :)

my daughter has child development at school...she told me pickle juice is another one.

Drink raspberry tea :) I hear that helps :)
