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 was about week 38. Dilated 1 cm during check in morning, 3 hours later back to clinic and almost 3cm dilated. No pain at all too but My gynae checked me in and break the water bag to speed up dilation at 4cm. Took epidural b4 breaking waterbag. No contraction pain as well. Only signs of bleeding. Within 3 hours aft waterbag broke, dilation speed up to 9cm. And labour begin. Push few times baby slipped out.
