Walking may help: If you are not in active labor by 39 weeks and your cervix is starting to get ripe i would offer you induction of labor the ideal time to deliver is 39 -40 weeks that is the time when the baby has the least chance of complications according to a large study, you can go in the evening before for cervadil to help ripen the cervix and then the next am cervadil out start pitocin, (oxytocin) arom works every time.
