when I was in labour i drank red raspberry leaf tea but i also drank it starting at 36 weeks 3 cups a day.... i think it did help during labour cause it strengthens the uterus
try doing some squats stair walking etc... its hard waiting... my second baby was over a week over due
Yeah I decided to book an appointment but can only get one for tomorrow.. i feel so impatient.. even if it doesnt send me into labor at least it will feel good
as I posted before go and have your pressure points in your feet done I went into labour within 3 hrs of having this done and I advised another lady on here to do the same and it worked for her as well :)
i'm so sorry that you're suffering, try to distract yourself and rest as much as you can to build your strength. take good care.
Went back today after contractions and pain got really intense, It was getting difficult to handle... While waiting, it started to slow.... I was still around 3 Cm but cervix is thinning out more... Im now working really hard to try to distract myself until active labor starts .... I thought for sure it would happen today since I progressed so quickly to 3Cm.. but nope.. Contractions have slowed again....
I had my youngest 2 a month early. The last child I went to the hospital and was at 3cm and 70%. I was told to walk around for 2 hours, but there wasn't any change. The next day I went into labor and the doctor almost didn't make it in time. When he got there the baby was already crowning. The nurse never checked me because she didn't believe I was in labor. It was my 4th child, so I told her I know when I'm in labor. The doctor was none to happy about not being called sooner and the nurse lost her job over it. I wish you the best of luck. It sounds like you may have a little bundle of joy soon.
My due date isnt until October 17th so I still have tons of time but am progressing now..my doctor is amazed i am still pregnant because I was showing signs of preterm labor at 31 weeks and they werent sure if I would make it passed 34 weeks so it really could be anytime.. its jut hard because now that i know im progressing, I feel like im just waiting for it to happen
When is your due date? I feel the same way. I'm due next Thursday. But I'm ready for this baby to come now but it seems like nothing is happening I have a drs appt today so I will know more than. Good luck and get some rest you will need it for labor.
I went back in at the 24 hour mark just because I wanted to see.... I had progressed.. I was 3 cm 90% effaced now.... They had me go walking for 2 hours to see if Icould get the last Cm... but my contractions didnt pick up and actually slowed during that time.. I think my body was just so exhausted..
So I am still here and pregnant but hopefully once I get some activity going today, I can get my last cm and moved to active labor...
I actually got some sleep last night and really hoping today ends up being the day.. but I guess ill just take it as it goes.
Oh good luck! Hang in there! Yay! Baby's coming soon!
this sounds like early labour, so the best thing to do is to keep active as this increases the intensity of the contractions, just go about your daily routine, and try not to lean back when sitting down as this could put baby in postierior position which could lead to alot of backache in labour and a long labour, always tilt your pelvis forward when sitting down, even if your are not sleeping do take the time to rest lying on your lsft side as this is the optimum side for blood flow as well, good luck it does sound like things are starting for you, also if the contractions do not become regular or more painful it could be b/h and they can get quite painful at the end of pregnancy :)
I'm sorry...it's hard to wait and not know for sure when it will happen. I hope you either are able to get some sleep or have this little baby.
I did called and they said to wait it out for now and if it picks up again like it was earlier to come in but she said I should try to take this time to rest because ill need my energy... just went for another walk, going to watch a movie, eat dinner, then will do another and see where I stand at that point..
I dont think it iwill end up being today but it is hard to be patient.... and of course i cant sleep..
i got maybe 2 hours of off and on again sleep last night.... tried to nap this afternoon and just couldnt do it
I would call L&D or Dr's Office and tell them what's going on. See if they suggest for you to wait or to come in. But sounds like you will have your little one soon. Good Luck with your delivery! :)
i should add that i also had a bloody show last night and this AM... im really not sure when to go back
