Aww, I can feel your frustration! A few of us moms went through the same thing, that helpless feeling when baby just won't cooperate even though you're so ready lah Honestly, sometimes babies just move at their own pace, but the back pain and cramping you're describing really sounds like it needs a proper check with your doctor or midwife to make sure everything is okay and check if you're actually progressing, especially since this time around feels different from your first. In the meantime, the usual stuff helps some people, long walks, bouncing on a birthing ball, warm baths, even just changing positions throughout the day, but seriously don't stress yourself out trying to force it, because stress can actually delay things more! Your body will do what it needs to do when it's ready, and if baby is overdue they'll manage it safely with you.
