I really am ready to have this baby and my MIL has flown down and is here only for one more week , we are tentativly scheduled for thursday , but I am hoping and praying something will happen ... I have been walking everyday sitting in diffrent positions had sex with my husband tried everything but castor oil and absolutly notta so I feel like I am doing the right thing its just so darn frustrating

I was in the same position with DD#2. She just was happy in there. My doc said that hte only thing that helps is cervical abruption - meaning stripping membranes or DTD. DTD also helps b/c the semen has prostaglandin in it which helps produce dilation (or so they say). Sometimes those babies just want to cook for a little longer. GL with the induction. I hope all goes well.

Sorry you haven't had any signs yet. That baby is just nice and comfy I guess! I would just say keep DTD. As pp said the prostaglandin can help dialate. Do you have a yoga ball? They say that if you sit and bounce on a yoga ball with your pelvis open you can help push the baby down and engage. Good luck!
