Any advice im going to go walk today withmy mom. II've been walking, drinking ginger tea, squats, spicy foods and I've only gotten mild cramping anything else I should be doing before my drs appointment on Tuesday

I think your suppose to call your doctor when they are 15-20 minutes apart..I was 15 days late with my 1st one.  Definitely don't rush it baby will come when it's ready..

And yes I am a ftm

Thanks ladies I've been having contractions since last night but im not sure when is the right time to go to the hospital. In my head from what I have read im thinking I have to wait until they get really bad to the point where I cant take it

A due date is just an estimate. Only 5% of mothers have there babies on there due dates. But it does mean you are so close so congrats on that! They say sex helps but that's only if the man ejaculates inside of you. Because the semen can help soften and dilate the cervix. But this doesn't work for everyone. Also walking definitely wont hurt!

Are you a ftm? It might take longer to actually go into labor. My midwife told me that I'll probably ten days over.

Same here. Due date was 3/14 tried everything and got sweeped. If you figure it out let me know!

[Lila0415]

Ill definitely give it a try

Maybe a little ruff sex might help, when I was pregnant with my second baby I was trying everything but the sex put me in labor the same day as my due date I was so happy

[Lila0415]

Lol my mom keeps telling me the same thing to enjoy my quite house because later it will never be the same I am just so excited

My due date was 3/12 and I have been doing everything that you mentioned I even tried castor oil...I was afraid of ******** everywhere so I only took a cap and a half but that didn't work...so it's just a waiting game...There isn't anything that we can do to get the labor started without the dr. Inducing that's just the way I'm taking things...cause I'm still pregnant..I guess.enjoy ur quiet house as am I

Your doing all the right things to help give labor a nudge. Hopefully it will pay off for you very soon.
if you have a breast pump try nipple stimulation by expressing - it can give very decent contractions! But there is a method 10 mins each side then a 30 min rest or sonething! Google it to get specifics :)
Good luck!
