How to thin out my cervix so I go into labor?

What are some ways that will help me thin my cervix out im 38 1/2 weeks and if I have not went in to labor by next monday (39 1/2 weeks) my doctor is going to induce me! Anyone got any sugestions?

Answer #1

Soak in a hot bath and walk around. If you are being induced your doctor will probably admit you a day early then give you something to softrn you cervix. It’s not uncommon.
Congrats!

Answer #2

the three hots hot showers, hot (spicey) food, and hot sex thats what my doc told me

Answer #3

my mom and me walked every afternoon, and took long baths, and as for me I had lots of sex and drank raspberry tea

Answer #4

This question is obviously 3 years old, but just in case anyone needs advice on this …

  • No amount of showers or spicy foods can cause your cervix to thin out.
  • Exercise and walking don’t induce labour, but it does make giving birth easier.
  • Sex has been known to cause labour, but it’s not an efficient method. Basically - your baby will come when it’s time … if the doctor feels the need to induce you, then he will, but in the meantime, just worry about staying healthy.
