Congratulations!
Pregnancy can be very stressing, and difficult it is true. But you have to let it be in its natural way. We do feel like that at times because with all that pain and the expectation of seeing your child you have been waiting for 9 months to see. But every baby has its own pace. Let it happen naturally. Be grateful that you are dilating some before labor sets it cause once it does you will want it to go as fast as it can! Oh, and I know induction is tempting but whatever they do will make your contractions come on super intense and close together, as opposed to naturally just gradually getting more intense and drawing closer together. I know its miserable, my 1st was 12 days past the due date, which is totally normal but hard to accept when you SO OVER being pregnant. Well, everyone will suggest different ways of inducing dialation, but i will suggest you to only try batural methods as pregnancy should be kept as much natural as possible. .

Babies come when they are ready! I know its miserable, my 1st was 12 days past the due date, which is totally normal but hard to accept when you SO OVER being pregnant. I had just finished doing some yoga when my first major contraction hit, so something else you can try. Otherwise, try to relax, watch movies, read books, etc. 2 cm is great!

Just an FYI : )
