  • You can try evening primrose oil. It breaks down into prostiglandins(sp?) Which help soften and ripen the cervix. They are capsules that you insert into the vagina as close to your cervix as possible. You can also take them orally. You can find them at GNC for sure for about 8 bucks. Good luck I'm saying a prayer for you as I type. Hope you get your little bundle soon :)
  • @shayshay Thanks I hope I get my little bundle of joy soon too he is so stubborn
  • Lol mine is too! I feel your pain. Just rest assured he will be in your arms in another week :)
  • Lucky! My doctor won't induce me unless my little guy isn't here at 41weeks :( & I'm 39w4d & no sign of labor :( I feel like he's gonna be old enough to walk out of me

  • lots and lots and lots of sex. there is prostiglandin (sorry i don't know how to spell it) in semen which is a hormone that helps open your cervix. also Evening primrose oil will help as well.
