Ok Here I go, and I dont know when I'm going to stop! I'm 39weeks pregnant, the entire pregnancy the midwives said I'd most definitly go early. Well now that i'm 39weeks I feel overdue, so i'm going crazy about that.. Then as luck would have it, i lost my mucus plug friday morning (6am) yay! and started to cramp a little, so the hubby and mother-inlaw took me walking in the mall to try and start things up, i stopped by the midwives before we started and got checked only 1cm dialated and still long ok that sucks. So we go we have breakfast we walk all afternoon, go out for dinner, I had a glass of red wine, and when i got home a 4oz bottle of castor oil, and then sat on the couch, contractions started coming a little more frequently and a little stronger after all that. As of like 11pm they where coming 4-5min apart and lasting 1min - 1 1/2 mins. So we call the midwife and she says wait an hour or so if they get closer together or stronger go to the hospital, so i'm sitting there and they start coming 2-3min apart and i'm now yelling at everyone to take me to the hospital. So they take me, the midwife starts on her way there. I get there get checked and the cheif resident tells me i'm 2-3cm dialated but still long and my contractions are coming at a steady 2-3min apart. Great news I think, so they send me to walk around the hospital for 1hr, i get back and no cervix change at all, so they put me in a different room and give me meds to help because my back pain was so horrible, and they wanted me to get some rest since i had been at it since 6am the morning before (its now like 3:15am) so they give me Stadol and Phenegan. The drugs completely knock me unconscious within seconds and i'm out for hours, i came to in horrible shape , and what happens, THE MEDS STALLED MY LABOR!!!!!!!!! UGH!! THEY SENT ME HOME WITH NO BABY (WELL SHE'S STILL INSIDE) Oh my God am i pissed. All because these stupid idiots thought i needed sleep, what i needed was something to relax a little, and the baby out!!!!. So now i'm stuck here waitting for my labor to kick right in which seems to be taking forever and i want to kill the world!!!! Ok I think i'm done now. Any suggestions on how to get this up and going again?? or how to get this damn cervix of mine to cooperate??

When you orgasm your uterus contracts, hence it sometimes helping to jumpstart things. Raspberry leaf tea is also known for helping to get things going (it encourages smooth muscle activity).
