Dilation of Cervix

Hi Mommies, anyone still has not given birth by 39 weeks and baby is still baking inside? I'm due next week, Monday 20/01. I have opted out to not let the Gynae do a membrane swept on me as I do not wish to feel uncomfy and wanted a natural birth as in self pain, cervix open by itself rather than the Gynae dig and check. Naturally, how do you make yourself dilate easier? Sex? Housework? Walk? All I did. But feel nothing le.

I gave birth few days ago at w39d4. During my w39d1 scan I was only 1cm dilated and doc asked me to get induced before EDD and I selected w39d5 for being induced. On w39d2 I went for evening walk (slightly longer than usual) and few hours later my mucus plug fell. And 2 hours later (past midnight) had bloody show. Scared of seeing blood I went A&E and was under observation until 6.30 am. I was having on-off contractions and when leaving for home I was 2cm dilated. Came home and went back same day evening and directly got admitted at delivery suite. Only next day 3pm I was dilated 8cm and by 5pm was fully dilated.
