over being pregnant- how to get labor going?

Question

I'm so over being pregnant haha 
I'm like a week and a half away and I can't sleep, can't stop eating, haven't felt my left leg in months from it being numb and now I pee about 7 times throughout the night 🙄

I'm so ready to meet my baby boy earth side. Every day I wake up and hope today is the day. Just want to hold him already

What can I do to help get labor going???

Answer

You can only do things to help your body prepare. And it will only work if your body is ready. You really just have to let your body do its thing. Even a dr stripping your membranes, for example, will only work if your body is ready.

I would love to know too !!!! X

Answer

My midwives say physical activity (like 20 min walks), sex (semen and organisms both stimulate labor), eating dates (like 5-6 a day), nipple stimulation, and evening primrose oil (softens the cervix). Good luck!!

Answer

I am due in six days as of last week was two cm dialated and 75% effaced and he is right on my cervix my dr said she can feel his head when she checked me last. I have been doing everything to get labor going and nothing is doing the trick I am so over being pregnant and feel like he's never going to come out :/ ready to meety little man!!!

Answer

This is the list I've acquired. Im waiting to do any of them until I'm 40 weeks next week. Except the red raspberry leaf tea I've been drinking since the 2nd trimester and eating 6 dates a day since 37 weeks.

Evening primrose oil capsules inserted in your vagina at night so they'll dissolve to soften your cervix and you can take them by mouth. I'm going to start them vaginally next week.

Red raspberry leaf tea or capsules found in the vitamin section for toning the uterus.

6 dates a day, they have oxytocin like properties.

Sex - ejaculate can soften the cervix.

Squats, walking or sitting on a birthing ball.

Nipple stimulation can be powerful, especially if you have a pump.

Castor oil but be careful it causes diarrhea and could make you dehydrated. I won't do this until I get past 41 weeks.

Clary sage essential oil, I recommend Young Living brand but you can get it from health food stores. Mix a few drops with coconut oil and rub it on your belly it can stimulate contractions. I plan on starting this at 40 weeks.

Answer

Sex definitely, tmi but my husband and I had sex before he went to work and then after I got off work we had sex three times. It started really bad contractions, but no labor :(

Answer

I'd love to k ow this too! Due the 13th and have been so sore but as of last week baby hadn't dropped enough to count for anything and I was only dilated to "1cm and barely a half". I do have a really short torso so I'm not expecting a major drop that I see a lot of ladies experience... I'm so over this pregnancy

Answer

I'm guessing my body isn't ready yet cuz nothin is working. I'm just tired of trying at this point. I'm just tryna keep myself busy until it's time.
