To tell you the truth if your body's not ready nothing will work. There's s_x, masturbation (can bring on a stronger orgasim than s_x alone), nipple stimulation, eating spicy foods and castor oil. But the last isn't really recommended. Like I said before tho if your bodys not ready nothing will work.

You're still pretty early. Like Mon17 said, if you're body's not ready, nothing will work. Just be patient. Some people stay at 1 or 2 cm's for a couple weeks.

Yes, Bianca you are still a month early. You really don't want the baby to come yet. 40 weeks is only a rough estimate and they say a lot of times it's better to go over the 40 weeks on first pregnancies. Don't start doing self remedies until you are at least over due for the sake of the baby. I know it's hard and uncomfortable (I am 38.5 weeks myself), but try and hang in there. Not too much longer yet. :)
