39 weeks, few pregnancy questions?

Question

i had a doctor appointment today, and he said i wasn't dilated yet. how can i help my body dilate? what if i pass my due date and still don't dilate? has this happened to anyone? also, i've been getting a little pain on my upper right rib..like right under my breast, is that normal..is it just the baby's position? sorry for all these questions..its my first pregnancy.

Answer 1

I always tried everything to dialate more and nothing worked for me I just think everyone is different I have heard,walking,spicy food s*x, ect helps you go in labor. My friend went over her due date and they induced her two days after know most doctors here will go ahead and induce you if you go past your due date. Congrats on the baby!!

Answer 2

i think that if you are going to pass 42 weeks they will induce you

the pain in the right rib is probably the baby kicking you or his foot is under there i get it all the time
