I am going to be 38wks monday. I told my doctor that I wanted to have my son before my due date. I asked him about castor oil and all he said was that he did not think that was a good idea that it just makes you sick and that he will come when he is ready. I did not want to here that at all. So I asked him to check to see if my cervix had thinned. He was like no dialation, and 50% thinned. So I am wondering how do they really know jsut by feeling that I have thinned. I have been wearing panty liners and there has been brown discharge. But I am not sure if that is like part of the mucus plug. (i have had notthing slimy yet and I am not sure if he has dropped, midwife says he has not, but the way it feeels when I walk I swear I think he has. So question is how do I make him drop and how do I make him come by next week pls help. This weekend I am going to make my husband go walking with me. Oh and is it possible to really be 50% thinned? Or was he just trying to give me hopes. And when he checked me he really hurt me, he pushed so hard on the uterus that I felt my son ball p at the top of my belly. And then I cramped the whole way home.Sex does not even hurt that bad. Whta did he do?
