What's Thursday?! I'm curious! I think baby will come when it's ready but I think resting and not exerting yourself is a good start.. Otherwise avoiding things that might trigger labour, all the old wives tales... No sex, no nipple stimulation, no spicy foods ( or anything else that irritates the bowels) etc etc would be worth a shot. gL

Babies come when they are ready ! But good luck! X

Don't think there's anything you can do! Baby is going to come when baby is ready.

Are you having any signs that labour is close- contractions, show, plug? I was 3 cm from 36 weeks until I delivered at 41 weeks. My consultant told me to take it easy- cut back on walking a lot, no rushing around, and sleep on my left side. So maybe taking it easy and resting as much as possible will help hold labour off for you. But if you're not having any other signs that labour is close you might have a while to go- my MW said that it is normal to be dilated a bit when its not your first- she had a lady who was 5 cm for weeks before being induced past due!
