I am 37 weeks pregnant and am at 4 cm, and have been for a week. Is there anyway to speed it up?

S_x although knowing you are dilated it isn't a good idea as it can cause infection. Walking often helps but to be honest until the baby is ready to come there isn't a great deal to speed things up. Don't forget you technically have three weeks to go!

s_x is a good way, but I've never heard that it can cause infection. the only way that s_x can cause infection is if your water is broken already.

My ob/gyn told me 3 weeks before my due date that I was 3 cm and 80% effaced. She told me to speed it up to have s_x, jump on a trampoline, walk etc. I ended up being induced 1 week overdue. Not trying to worry you, just be prepared for anything I guess. The baby will come when they are ready. Don't try castor oil though. Bad side effects. I had a very fast labour though if that makes you feel better.
