"Not even slightly dilated", still

So there's been no progress since last week.  I'm still about 50% effaced (meaning the cervix has thinned), but not dilated at all.  I get another week to see what happens, and then an induction.  I REALLY want to avoid the induction, so we're going to try all the things they suggest for stimulating labor.  Wish us luck!

    Hm, if only I could do cartwheels, but I couldn't even when I wasn't pregnant. August 4th would be great!

    I feel your pain! At 42 weeks I was still not in labor with Sojie. :o( Stressful. I'm sure you already know all the stuff you're supposed to try in order to get things moving. I've heard that the castor oil really works. That was one I wished I'd tried. Also, evening primrose oil is supposed to ripen the cervix, if I remember correctly.
