want to go to labor
how can make myself to go to labor, i can not handle it anymore , please someone help me , and i am not asking from those people that they are beliving the pragnancy is 40 weeks, plase keep ur opinion for urself , thanks ladies
i feel for you but you cant just put yourself in labor... I went into labor at 37 weeks it stopped.. I tried everything on the list of tricks except castor oil.. and i could trigger ocntractions that would cause my to kneel over (worst than my actual labor contractions in the end) through sex but they didnt progress me any further.. despite wasting my last weeks of being baby free, my baby was still not born until 39 weeks 6 days... my only regret is that I didnt spend more time doing things for myself during that time instead of trying to kick start labor... Stay strong
Just take some reasurrance in the fact that they are preparing the baby with the steroid shots and are prepared to deliver early... do you know if they are gonna test the lungs to see if they are ready? it wouldnt hurt to ask if this is a possibilty ...it does sound that its gonna be 37 weeks no matter what and i not sure what your health condition is but maybe he will let you have even a couple more days longer if they are not quite there and if they are ready then you will get some reassurance that baby should be good to go...but saying that at 37 weeks with the shots there is a better chance of baby being ready than without... im sorry your going thru this, its not fun to not have complete control over the situation seems to be what babies are all about! good luck!
I'm 29 weeks and my dr isn't allowing me to go past 37 weeks. I am terrified. He is planning on giving me steroids to hopefully help with her lungs but said she may still need a short stay in the nicu and that scares me more than anything. I wish I didn't have the problems he is worried about but I do and so now I am worried for my baby. It is not fun to be this stressed out. So keep that baby in as long as possible
thanks for ur reply, it was the sweetes advise about these ladies
think they should give each other a pad on the shoulder.

Lesley,
That is the best response I have seen to this type of question.
People, please let your babies come when they are ready. We all know pregnancy can get pretty crazy at the end but it a blip on the radar. You can try a sitz bath for your hemorrhoids. Witch hazel can help too but not if they are bleeding. Stay hydrated!

I carried my daughter 12 days past her due date, it sucked but i am a fairly patient person, and i handled it... i hadnt had a good sleep since i was 5 months and by then its hard to count the sleep i was getting as sleep, hemorrhoids, and i was huge with edema EVERYWHERE, there was now way i could consider shoes lol... its all part of sacrificing your needs for the baby... Someone before me already posted this but this is such a common complaint(your not alone) as at the end it get uncomfortable, your tired, and baby is heavy! but you can get thru this! and i hope the baby does come sooner than later for your sake but there really isnt much you can do, there are options out there that ppl swear by but there really isnt any proof anything works... and if you are already irritated i definitly wouldnt try castor oil, or anything that gives you the runs as that will put you on the toilet and will really irritate the hemorrhoids...
my daughter was in the NICU for 2 days for minor complications(meconium and gunk in lungs) and i dont think i could handle that for more than that!! it was aweful... i didnt get to even meet her let alone touch her till the next day,when i did get to meet her i wasnt allowed to pick her up till she woke up! i wasnt allowed to do anything with out permission from someone! if they wanted to suppliment her with formula, they could, give her a suckie, they did, i had no idea what all she had done(like needles, bloodwork, what not) and when i got her i had no idea of her routine as someone else looked after her(didnt know how many wet diapers, ect) i had to ask to come see her twice everytime... oh and the awesome streak they shaved off her head(long black hair gone!) because they were busy and it was easier to give her sugar water(thru IV) then a bottle so she had an IV in her head for no real medical reason but the fact that they were getting a set of premature twins flown in at the same time they got her(they were very busy)... and i was allowed 1 person in with me at the same time thats a great way to show her off, it was awesome! and that was 2 days... i nursed her when they would call me so i was constantly running between floors 24 hours a day, and it sucked... like i said sometimes id get there and they would have already fed her, even tho they phoned me!! So the risk that your baby would be in there for underdeveloped lungs isnt worth it and i should note that i had a Csection so thats why i was still in the hospital, i couldnt imagine leaving a baby and having to go home! so risking your babies health isnt worht it... the NICU has an amazing set of nurses and Drs, they really are truly amazing ppl and i get why they need to be like this because they have VERY sick babies, and they need to be in control but as a mom it was aweful, i dont know what ill do if i have to do that again! i feel so bad for moms who have babies in there for weeks... you think your under stress right now, i couldnt imagine what weeks of that is like...
And yes you can do this! your so close to being done, hang in there!!

Fed up or not, at 36 weeks baby is still in the best place possible as the lungs are not fully matured yet. I know how you feel, I am 35 weeks 2 days and feeling so tired and uncomfortable now, this is my 4th baby, my other 3 are 6, 5 and 3. But I know that for now my baby is better off inside me. I tried everything going to start labour with my other 3 when I reached my due date, sex, hot curry, walking, pineapple...none of it worked...even had membrane sweeps with all 3 once term and nothing. I ended up being induced at term plus with all 3. If baby isn't ready there's nothing you can do to get it to one. Try and keep in mind you are at the final hurdle now though!
Be glad your baby isn't early. There could be complications with premature babies. Speaking from experience
You will get through this, don't forget that. EVERY women has a hard time at the end of the pregnancy and want it to be over, that is normal!! but your time will come and you will forget all this stuff when you have your baby! Hang in there!! There is really nothing you can do to speed up the process. some people say to keep moving, walking, others say to have sex, but really baby is not going to show up until baby is ready.
I know you don't want to hear it, but it's true. I've made it to 40wks twice and I'm almost 30wks with baby #3 now. With baby #1, I had kidney stones and infections and a swollen kidney so bad that I had to get SURGERY at 34wks. Full, knock-you-out, cut your kidney surgery. So the last 6 wks of my pregnancy, I was recovering from that. i can't even begin to describe how excruciating that was.
With baby #2, I was having cardiac complications and neurological complications and GOING BLIND. I wanted to hold up, but they finally induced me at 39w4d when they were afraid that I would lose my sight permanently if they didn't induce.
With both pregnancies I had hemmerhoids, and I vomited so much that I lost weight instead of gaining it..with my 2nd pregnancy I had SPD which is a very painful condition that affects your pelvis and hips, and I have it again with this pregnancy.
So...trust me. you can make it to 40wks or whenever baby decides to come if I can! I had a toddler to watch with pregnancy #2 and passing out and going blind all the time was terrifying....but in the end, I'm so glad I let my babies come when they wanted because they were both healthy, beautiful, and fully developed.
I know a lot of women get to that "full-term" mark at 37wks and they're ready to be done, and I totally sympathize..I really do. I don't know ANY woman that enjoys that last little bit..it's MISERABLE. But every baby is different and there is no "magic time" that assures that when they are born if induced they will be OK...that's why letting them come when they are ready is the best thing to do. They tested my son's lungs (my 2nd baby) at 37wks hoping his lungs were mature so we could induce, but they were NOT mature! If that doesn't scare you, talk to some women whose babies were born premature and had to spend time in the NICU and I think you'll realize that as hard as it is (and it is SO hard, I really do feel for you!) you've just got to let baby choose his or her timetable.
Hang in there..I PROMISE it will be worth it in the end. Even if you forced baby out tomorrow and by some luck he or she was fully ready to be born and not in the NICU, you would then be caring for a newborn with all of the pregnancy pains AND hemmheroids (because you don't miraculously feel better when you deliver..it takes time to recover)...so try to enjoy this last little bit because while it is SO incredibly hard, at least it doesn't involve caring for a newborn along with everything else you're feeling.
you're doing JUST right baking your baby...you don't take a cake out of the oven before it's finished, do you? :-). plenty of babies are born before 37wks and they are just fine....but many are not. it's an unnecessary risk so most doctors won't even consider inducing that early, just to let you know.

I have to agree with Clysta, Baby will come when baby is ready. Hemorrhoids are common with pregnancy so there is no way around that once you get them. Until baby decides that it is time you are pretty much going to have to lay low and not do to much to aggravate them further.
It did what? It almost sounds like hemorrhoids, which unfortunately are common while pregnant.
my butt just pp out last night and it was bleeding so bad, my doctor said its normal. i hate that word normal. i ask her to she give mesomething for it and she did not, it is hanging out about an inch , its hard to walk with it and i did try to push it back , but does not work ,
You can't. When baby is ready they will come. I understand you're uncomfortable, but that doesn't matter - pregnancy is uncomfortable for everyone at the end and unless you have a life threatening condition you wouldn't be induced either, especially not at 36 weeks. You can't just call it quits when it's good for you.

Now having said that, you did say you didn't want to hear all of the negative and that's all anyone has posted so I'll just tell you what I'm going to do when I hit 37 weeks. WALK WALK WALK, I know it might be hard for you but can't they give you something to help numb your hemorrhoids? Also try an exercise ball try sitting on it if you can and bounce. Sex, spicy foods, breast pump for nipple stimulation, walk more... Like the above poster also stated I would stay away from the castor oil. Do all of the natural things you can to try and bring on labor. Be good to your body and baby and don't do anything harsh, but there is nothing wrong with walking, sex (you can do the nipple stimulation during sex, lol) and spicy foods if it brings on labor then ok. If not you know you've done as much as you can without harming your baby.
Hang in there I know I'll be feeling the same way in 4 weeks. I'm so ready for this baby to be here, but I know it's best for her to keep baking for at least another 4 weeks.
