jumpstart labor

Hey I'm 35 weeks pregnant and I would like to have my baby at 37 weeks. I supposed to get induced at 39 weeks but not only am I so anxious to meet my baby girl I'm also tired of being pregnant with all the aches and pains I constantly have. Any advice???

Technically your baby is considered full term @ 37 weeks for those who are judging. And for u to put every baby in the same category to say babies born before 39 weeks have breathing problems is SO NOT TRUE so I think you should get your facts correct. I appreciate all the comments but some of them just don't make any sense.

All of my babies were born before 39 weeks except the first. They never had breathing problems. Every baby is different. I definitely wouldn't force labor. Baby will come when its ready. To put every baby in same catergory and say it will have breathing problems is silly. My last was 37 weeks and healthy as can be.

Try to enjoy having your baby inside for a few more weeks. Just think that every day they are in there, they are getting a little more ready for the whole big life ahead of them.

none of the natural  ways to induce labour  will work unless your already heading  in that direction  and baby is ready. most of them help ease the labour  process once its starts but dont actually  start labour.

In the end,baby jjust came when it was ready &  no matter how much dancing, spice foods eat it didn't effect it's cycle lol

But why would you want baby to come before its ready?  Babies come when they're ready..  I'd rather be over due then early just because I'm sick of being pregnant..  but thats my opinion

I tried everything, raspberry leaf tea, castor oil-2 hours mild cramps with this,  walking - nothing worked. I guess you just tough it out.  I know exactly how you feel, hang in there

I don't think anything will make her come if your body isn't ready. I would walk alot. Maybe take primrose oil.

Already drank that crap.  Gave me contractions for one night that kept me up all night then when I went in they slowed down and did nothing.   Took a second dose of it later after that didnt get contractions just had to use the bathroom a lot.

Castor oil can be dangerous. Sure it works sometimes,  but other times it causes baby distress, they poop in the womb, inhale it,  and wind up in severe respiratory distress. Doesn't seem like a risk I want to take!

Sadly, they come when they are ready. Good luck!
