Advice please!

The doc said I'm dilated to a 1 is all, but I am 60% effaced. I'm doing all I can to get this baby here. The kids and I went to a birthday party today with those big blow up slides and guess who went down them several times.......yep.......me! I tell you, nothing is working. Any expert advice? We've tried walking, massaging pressure points, the trampoline, blow-up slides, yada, yada, yada. It's all good though. He will come when he is ready I guess.

I've never done it and will never do it. But there is always castor oil. Just plan on spending a day in the bathroom if it doesn't work!
Good Luck!

so when I was prego with Parker I read that you should eat pineapple and mop on your hands and knees. I was at a 3cm and 80% effaced. I did it one evening, my water broke at midnight and i had him at 5am. Just a suggestion ;) Castor oil is disguisting and not worth it! did it with Jace and it made me so sick but it did work for my sister.

Ive heard the castor oil thing doesn't work either! don't do it!!! I haven't heard of success or not with this, but I've heard that if you walk on a sidewalk with one foot on the sidewalk and one on the road that motion helps. But I think all of this stuff only works if baby is ready. Have you had your membranes stripped? Hurts like heck but it works...again if he's ready! Good luck, I can't wait to hear!

Hey, you know what put me into labor?... I mopped the entire kitchen, hallway and bathroom floor pushing the mop scrubbing hard and pushing with my ab muscles. I wasn't purposely trying to make my water break, it just did... opps :)
