Please help me...I thought I was 41 weeks 4 days but found out that I am only 3 days late. The baby is already 9 1/2 pounds and nothing is really happening with me...I think I am dilated 1 cm. My doctor wants to see me again on Friday...I was there for 3 hours this morning. The baby is fine...I am just frustrated about not going into labor. Does anyone have any suggestions??? I have tried everything from spicy foods to pineapple to crying and trying to relax. The only thing I haven't done yet is the castor oil...which my doctor told me about today! I feel as though it will never happen naturally for me and that I am going to be pregnant FOREVER!!! Any suggestions or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Try doing a lot of walking.....or s_x.....s____n is supposed to help the cervix thin out and could put you into labor....I guess in reality, you will go into labor when your body is ready for it.....If there was a for sure method to induce labor naturally, there would be a lot of woman out there doing it...(by the way, the pineapple thing only works if you eat like 2 whole pineapples a day).....you could try castor oil, but even that is not guarenteed......if you do try it, you will probably be in for a long night of throwing up and diarrhea......it is supposed to stimulate your uterus (from the contractions of your stomach), but it is not guarenteed...some woman go through with it and just feel miserable for hours with no labor.
