Too early to try and speed things up?

[missb94]

I'm 37+4 and very uncomfortable. I know baby will come on her own when she's ready but I just feel like doing things to at least try and get things moving! So, do you think its too early to be doing things like taking long walks, squats, bouncing on my birthing ball, sex etc? And what are your opinions on raspberry leaf tea, should I drink it and will it help? :)

Try epo! They help you to dilate!

I had 2 of 3 of my babies at 37 and 38 weks, do to home remedies!! They other one i didnt try anything and was induced at 39 weeks. But once you 37 weeks you are full term! After that the baby is just gaining weight. And i noticed with my last, and this one. That the leaf tea is amazing lol. But let it get really strong then drink it. :)

I have been taking the tea my whole pregnancy.  It won't make u go into labor. Just makes it a lot easier on you and makes your uterus strong. I'm 37+2 and my midwife said to try walking, sex, primrose oil. But like stated above, all that just helpa get your body ready :/ I'm so ready for my baby to be born. It doesn't have anymore room!

Im 37 weeks and im gonna start walking and sex, sex, sex. Even if i dont go into labor im hoping it well help me dialate. If i dialate to 2 cm my doc will induce at 39 weeks so thats my goal.

Id try to maybe wait at least one more week or so. I know it's uncomfortable, but the closer to your due date, the better, ya know? Good luck!

No one of that stuff helped me at all . I tryed everything and had to be induced still . Sperm never helped soften up my cervix either . Nothing worked ./: you baby is full term at 37 weeks (:

Go.ahead n walk stairs.. . Up two at a time... concentrating on spreading ur hips apart...
Do some research on reflexology.  Supposed ti be great...

Thank you everyone :)
Yeah, I know they won't make me go into labour and it will only help if baby is ready. Its more for my sake I guess, so I actually feel like I'm doing something. I don't know, just feel if I do something I won't go crazy doing nothing :)

Nope not too early.  I started around 37 weeks...lots of sex and orgasms.  Plus lots of speed walking. Had my daughter at 38+3. Since sperm softens the cervix..it makes sense.

All of those things aren't exactly going to definitely make you go into Labour. I mean I walk 3 miles every day and have done my entire pregnancy. If anything it just makes your Labour easier. Same as the sex. Sex just makes Labour easier as you have been using those muscles. I popped into my local health food store and they said not to take red raspberry leaf unless approved by your Dr or midwife. But I am going to ask my Midwife about it at my next appt. Good luck

I am 37+3w and when I seen my midwife a day after 37w she said it was fine for me to try whatever I wwanted. Good luck xx

I would. You've waited long enough. Besides some people do all that and baby comes and sometimes they don't hehe. Trying wouldn't hurt.... try Reflexology
