all these "labor starter tips"

[aprilann925]

ladies my doctor confirmed to me today that if your  labor is going to happen it will happen when the baby is ready to come.  you may have to be induced if things don't speed up BUT sex, pizza , a drink,spicy food, even walking has not even been proven that it will help you go into labor.. just a fyi for those of you that think you need to do one of these things to speed it up. wait. be patient. just because someone said it worked for them does not mean it will work for you and for all you know it could just be a coincidence that their labor started shortly after trying one if those things. for the past nine months i was under the impression that if i become overdue which i am that those are the things i need to do to because of what women have told me. so hang in there ! relax . let your body do what its made to do and stop rushing what you have no control of

I only went to 39+2, I got Induced for high blood pressure and yes I had Horrible back labor. But, I never tried self inducing. I didn't even think about it really, I loved being pregnant. And yes, I still loved it even when I could barely walk, my vaginal hurt like hell, I was sick, had Horrible back labor, and my boobs were in my throat!

Lol! I agree not everyone is the same but if nothing is wrong with you medically and your 37 weeks or over why not just sit and wait for your baby to come on its own. If you do go over you due date it will probably be no more then 10 days. Its not like you'll have to wait another 9 months lol

Some ppl don't understand that u a can't force your body into labor.

Totally agree. Who said pregnancy was easy?!? It's not. I can't stand when ppl only post about being so fed up with pregnancy and that they hate it. Yes, some have a harder time than others, but if your body isn't ready...nothing is gonna work. And it doesn't make anything better by bitching, because "self induced suggestions" haven't helped, and constantly "ranting" about how much pain your in. I'm sorry, but I totally agree.
