naturally induce
Thats it...I have refused to not naturally induce and let my tiny tot make his big debut when he wanted but I'm done! I'm waving the white flag...any ideas how to get labor going???
Most first time moms go over 40 weeks. Sorry to say. I had my first at 40+6 and my friend had hers at 42+3 weeks. Baby is ready when they're ready.
Haha...yeah...I am enjoying being the one in control of my sleep schedule! And I will for sure! Thanks for the advice!
I wouldn't worry about it, I usually always do the spicy food, sex and walk and with my 1st he was 40 weeks about 5 hours of active labour and my 2nd was even faster but she was almost 41 weeks. I always say enjoy sleeping because very soon our nights are no longer ours! I'm 38 weeks with my 3rd and I'm really excited too. The best advice I have is when you start getting steady contractions get walking and keep them coming! Good luck
Oh and thank you llodibingrl! :)
I know I'm only 37wks...I'm totally fine with staying pregnant for 3 more wks but I don't feel like I'm making any progress so I guess I just want to make sure I don't go over 40wks naturally. Lol...plus like I said...this might be the only one I get so I really am trying to soak it up and enjoy it...it is just difficult sometimes! Lol...and good luck to all of you ladies and your blessings! :)
Well congratulations on your little miracle! And glad I didn't seem like a downer lol. If this may be your only pregnancy it is just even more reason to absorb every moment. Easier said than done I know haha. This will be my last so I keep telling myself to relish it, but once you reach the home stretch it gets harder and harder. I think all of us ladies on this thread can attest to that! So to all of you...hang in there!
Why would you want to try to go into labor at 37 weeks? You aren't full term yet. You need to give your baby's lungs time to fully develop.
Fresh pineapple ut has to be fresh not canned
I will be more than happy to share any info if I get anywhere!
I've tried everything also! And I.mean everything! Just like llodibingrl and nothimg :( 40 weeks and still pregnant! If you find something that works I want to know! Im desperate! Good luck :)
I've been having regular contractions since 12/18. I've also done breast pump, sex, more sex, rougher sex, 3 times a day sex, castor oil(that didn't even make me poop btw), the black and blue cohosh nonsense, I've eaten 4 whole fresh pineapples, spicy food, squats, bending over for absolutely everything and I'm not progressing, and hadn't changed the last time I was checked. He tried to come, they stopped him even though he's over 6lbs and now I'm afraid it's going to have to be an induction because my cervix is not posterior. So best of luck and if you find anything that works, at all, please PLEASE SHARE!! LOL
You weren't being a downer! This little boy is constantly reminding me that he's the one in charge...not me! Lol...and yes...he's my little miracle (I wasn't supposed to be able to have kids and I wasn't even trying) so he may be my only pregnancy
I understand completely! I dont mean to be a downer, just sharing my thoughts and experience. Is this your first?
Haha...thats crazy! And honestly I'm ok with being on his schedule...I just really wanna meet him! Oh and I'd be more than happy to have my body back! Lol
Well, Im sure this isnt what you want to hear but Ill be honest with you. I am officially a true believer that baby comes when baby is ready. I am almost 39 weeks with #3. I have had a membrane sweep, sex, used my breastpump for nipple stimulation, bounced on a yoga ball, taken walks, eaten spicy food, gone on bumpy car rides, taken evening primrose oil since week 36, and taken castor oil three seperated times. Im still pregnant. I have had contractions that have been eight minutes apart for four hours at a time, dilated and effaced and I have lost my plug. no baby yet :/
After all of this, I really think anyone who claims to have induced their own labor just had a happy coincidence.

I'm dilated to a 2 and idk how effaced I am...I'm only 37wks so I was going to gradually start the process so I can at least start dilating more...I have a feeling its going to take awhile to coax this kid out. Lol
How far along are you? Dilated...effaced?
