36+2 update

Still at a 1, 50% defaced

Bleeding was not from baby so they aren't concerned, she's healthy :)

Raspberry leaf tea has made the contractions stronger. I use two bags per one glass and sweeten with honey and sugar.

Evening primrose oil I take one orally in the morning and one both ways at night. My cervix has lowered and has thinned since thin. It is also suppose to help keep from tearing (I'll find out when that time comes).

I've also been walking, taking warm baths, having sex, and relaxing while I can. 26 days till DD and about 20 till inducement! Hoping she is here by next week... fingers crossed!

Good to hear your LO is doing well! Our due dates are only 4 days apart! I'm hoping my little girl comes early so I don't have to be induced in the end :P

I'm thinking of trying the EPO as I can't have the tea due to family history of breast and cervical cancer.

Good luck!!

When I went to the doctor on Monday I was 50% effaced and 1cm dilated! I hope that when I go back on Monday I'll be further along lol! :) This is my first baby and I'm hoping she comes before her due date (July 13th) and if not I'm hoping she'll come the 16th because that's my birthday! Good luck ladies!
