dilating techniques

[lovleyme]

Anyone know any quick ways to help start me dilating I'm supposed to go back to skool the end of this month the 26th and I'm hoping to have her 2 weeks before I go back in,, so that leaves me with a week and a half to Have my babygirl.
Any suggestions.??? I'm 38+5 weeks :)

Lots of walking helps apparently...spicy food etc but another instance of I think it'll only work If baby is ready. Yea please take it easy..a week after having my daughter my midwives came to ny house to do a home chcek up..so I went mad cleaning the house etc..it made me bleed way too Much..had stomach pains and because I'd been so active blood flow to my lady area caused it to swell..making the stitches I had go too tight as I was all swollen. Agony! Midwife told me off!

Im 38w1d and i also start my fall semester class august 25th i enrolled in only online classes this semester but i know how you feel! If i took off a semester of school it would just be that much harder in the spring semester

I didn't take it in a bad way I know you wer just stating your opinion and thanx I will take it easy and I know what the chances can become of. But if there's just anyway to speed it up I would wanna know that was my question :)

It was only a suggestion. Trust me I've had a baby and I was just trying yo help. Yes you may be lucky but a lot aren't and need time to rest and heal.

Try taking online classes only this semester. Best of both worlds. You never know how you be feeling and to commit to something now when its stiil unknown could set you up for more stress down the line

Just take it easy, I had a natural delivery and was up and about right after having her, but the Dr and hospital say no driving for a week (2wks for csection), no lifting over your baby's weight. Those college books are quite thick and heavy lol. Don't over do it. Remember every woman, every pregnancy,every delivery, every baby is different.

No it's college and if I miss I would have to take a whole semester off and I don't want to do that at all for that would make me fall behind and everyone I kno who had there babies recently wer up and out  and about atleast 4 days after birth.  They wer still bleeding but not as sore or weak they were able to go out and class is only 2 times a week for about 3 hours I'll just be sitting there. I'm doing this for her Sence I'm on my own my career is a lot right now.

Also I was advised to let my body heal for four to six weeks or so. You'll need lots of rest and bonding time. You never. Know you could end up with a bad tear or have a csection which requires lots of healing Time..either way you're being very ambitious! I was exhausted and sore for a while after labour. can't you go back later?

You can be dilated for weeks so even if you dilated a few cms it doesbt mean anything. baby will come when its ready.xx

Sweeping the membranes and lots of unprotected sex :P even after you have your baby your still going to want some time to heal and be with your baby!
