While your doctor can give you a good estimate....the doctor cannot guarantee it. I've been in the same situation, dilated....effaced..."big" baby....still went 3 days overdue with my 3rd child. Your body may be progressing nicely, and baby may look ready, but that doesn't always mean labor is super close.

The induction methods you are trying aren't dangerous so I'm not trying to judge you, just saying you're most likely going to tire yourself out trying to go into labor. Sometimes relaxation is the best method to let your body do its thing. Maybe you can go get a massage

@arivera64, my OB says she expects me to go into labor in the next week and a half. my baby is measuring full term. I wouldn't be expecting things to happen if she didn't look ready according to the doctor.

most ftm find that your cervix has to reach 100% before you dilate. Also, the reason nothing is working is because your baby is not ready to be born yet. You're still 2 1/2 weeks out from being full term

I ate actual pineapple and drank Camile tea went into labor the next day lol

I've had lots of pineapple today and pumped before laying down for the night! and went for a long walk. I will try again tomorrow and hopefully contractions will start!

@fruitloop13, eat something spicy... also maybe pineapple juice... also try to pump if you have a pump.....

my cervix is already 70% effaced. I'm more worried about not dilating fast enough @milam0926
