Doctor said if I don't have the baby by my next appt (in 5 days), they'll be scheduling an induction. I haven't dilated anymore than I was 10 days ago. So I'm still 3cm and 50% effaced. Walking will not help induce me considering I work at lowes and have been on the floor my whole pregnancy, so I walk 10,000+ steps a day. I run up and down stairs idk how much with having two toddlers. TMI my SO and I have had sex 3 times, and only the 2nd time did I get a good bit of contractions. I've been on my back everytime because of my back pain.

Did you have a membrane sweep at all? I had 2 with my 2nd pregnancy and I swear it did some good, and the day of or after depending on the level of comfort I was at, my bf and I had sex and I was usually always on my side towards the end and he was behind me. I tried to have sex with him as much as possible whether it felt like it did anything or not. When you and your SO had sex he finished inside right? I know it's an odd question but sperm is what helps the cervix thin out and dilate so they say.
2/3 times he finished inside. I haven't had my membranes swept yet. She hasn't even brought it up. Just done a cervix exam to see how dilated I am.
@ejwsmomma120215 membrane sweeps usually have to be requested so if you get the opportunity I'd ask. Thankfully my doctor suggested it to me. It's basically just like a cervical exam but a little more aggressive I'd say.
Squats, bounce on birthing ball, eat pineapple! They say doing stairs helps too but Idk
