i'm 38 weeks and 5 days. i went to the doctors yesterday and i'm only 1 centimeter and still a little thick. this is my third child and i feel like with this one i'm never going to have it naturally like i want. my other two i had three or four days after my due date. so maybe i'm just worrying myself, but i was farther along then i am with this one. so to thin out and help dilate a little faster does anyone know of ways or things to do to help it that have worked for you. i have been walking and doing squats but they don't seem to help.

Red Raspberry Leaf Tea!! Here's the brand I used and a store locator http://www.traditionalmedicinals.com/?title=store+locator My friends midwife recommended it and it worked on her too. I also walked a lot once I got a contraction, that helped move things along. Good luck!
