Hi Everyone,
Sorry I did not give an update. They are not inducing me today because at my last appt my doctor and I decided that because I was not dilated enough we would wait another week. So I go again tomorrow and we will decide from there. My doctor said that he would like to see me at least 2 or 3 cm dilated before he induces. So he will see if I made any progess in the past week. I have been walking, swimming, eating spicy foods. So hopefully something is working.
Thanks so much for checking in. I will post tomorrow after I find out the plan <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Sex
Making love can be one of the last things on a woman's mind toward the end of her pregnancy. She feels clumsy and big and may be experiencing a lot of vaginal pressure. But believe it or not, sex is one of the things you can do to get your labor under way. When you and your partner make love, his semen (which contains prostaglandins) can stimulate contractions.
Nipple stimulation
Some women massage their nipples as a way to induce labor. This stimulation brings about the release of oxytocin, which is the natural form of pitocin. Oxytocin causes contractions, which sometimes evolve into labor.
