Anyone else?
I'm 39.3 weeks FTM and have been in prodromal labor since 33.6 weeks. I had my first membrane sweep this morning at my appointment but do not feel very hopeful that it will be effective since I'm only -2 station, 1cm dilated, and 50-60% effaced and she barely spent any time doing it. I have been told by the practice I go to "any day now" for weeks and those words have been so discouraging because I've made no real progress. At 35.5 weeks I was given terbutaline for "uterine irritability" and it only eased the discomfort for a few hours. Is anyone else experiencing contractions and cramping for this long with not much progress?
I've been walking, using an exercise ball, drinking red raspberry leaf tea, inserting EPO vaginally, eating 6 dates daily, eating entire fresh pineapples, spicy food, sex/orgasm, pumping, clary sage in my diffuser, and last but not least meditation and baths.
