Sounds promising. Here's to an easy labor. Prayers and we'll wishes.
Thanks! We followed up with the doctor today, while it took 5 days of constant contractions to go from 1 to 2 cm I also went from 25% effaced to 100% and to zero station. They did a second membrane sweep today too, so were crossing our fingers!
Evening primrose oil in your vagina will help soften your cervix. Sex! I know you don't really feel like it, but his ejaculate has a hormone in it called oxytocin. Piocin is the synthetic form of oxytocin and will help if you are already in the early stages of labor. Also, your or gas will bring on more contractions. Get up. Walk. Move around. You need gravity to do its job.
Most importantly, relax. Anxiety and stress about labor can actually slow down and even stop labor. Good luck, Mama. You're almost there.
