Dont want to pass 37 weeks (tmi)

Hello ladies, I know this might sound selfish but I dnt want my baby passing the 37th weeks mark. I dnt want a big baby, despite the fact that am sexually active, my birth canal seems to shrink and get tight the very nxt day. im currently 27wks, so 10 more wks.....im plannin to do everything possible starting week 35 to kick start labor naturally.....is it a bad idea?

Try to remember your Vag will go back to normal after your baby is born no matter how big her or she is. I have all of my kids vaginally the biggest being 8lbs 10oz the smallest 7lbs 4oz and mine went back to the same tightness as when I was 17.

Maybe consider a scheduled c-section if you are worried about your vagina already at 27weeks, id hate to think how you will be feeling once u are 30-32 weeks. & also remember it doesnt matter how 'tight' or 'loose' a womans vagina is, u naturally dilate in labour & bringing labour on may give u more chance of 'ruining' your vagina. Let your baby come when its ready, not when you are..

Baby will come when he/she is ready! Can't force on labour it may stress out baby which is unnecessary!

Your baby is going to end up in the nicu and not be able to come home with you.. It's going to be connected to monitors and have needles in its arms and possibly a ventilator down its throat all because ur afraid of ruining your precious vaginal canal. You are selfish. Jeez
