It sounds like you are experiencing some challenges as you approach your due date, and it's understandable to feel worried and frustrated. It's not uncommon for labor to take some time to progress, especially for first-time mothers like yourself.
Since you are already dilated to 3cm and have been trying various methods to help induce labor naturally, it's great that you are staying active and trying exercises like squats and going up and down stairs. These activities can help encourage the baby to move lower into the birth canal and promote labor.
However, if you are concerned about the slow progress and potential interventions like induction or a Cesarean section, it's important to communicate openly with your healthcare provider. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific situation and may offer additional techniques or options to help progress labor.
Remember that every pregnancy and labor experience is unique, and it's okay to feel anxious or impatient during this waiting period. Many other first-time mothers have faced similar situations, so sharing your concerns with others in a support group or forum like the one you are in can also be helpful for emotional support and shared experiences.
Stay positive, keep in contact with your healthcare provider, and trust that your body knows what to do when the time is right. Best wishes for a safe and smooth delivery!
