How early are you?

Yoga balls work perfectly!!!! That's how I jump started my labor. The morning of my due date I bounced on a yoga ball for about ten minutes. A couple hours later I lost my mucas plug and then started having contractions. Yes, I would definitely invest in one!!

I've been.walking but i need to invest into getting an exercise ball.

Walk until u can't walk anymore ! I was sent home twice BC I wasn't dilating enough.the nurse told me that u get contractions for two things. One is to push baby down into position and the other is to dilate. So they said walk as much as possible and bounce on a exercise ball to help baby drop.

Same thing happened to me. The machine said my contractions weren't strong enough to indicate any reason I was in labor, (even tho my contractions felt like they were ripping a hole through me and i was in tears lol) when I got to the hospital at 9 pm they were five minutes apart and I was only dilated 2 cm. They told me they would check me again and if there were no changes i had to go home. So i got up and started doing jumping jacks and squats lol. By 8 AM the next morning they were 2 minutes apart and I was dilated 6 cm, gave birth that day! So just be very active!

Im sitting ready for this pregnancy to be over. Well my contractions were 6minutes apart consistent and strong. But after being watched for 2 hours i did not dilate. So my doctor said i just have to deal with the contractions because Im still early and there's no medical emergency to induce me. So i have a hell of a few weeks or days left.
