Inducing labour?

Question

I'm 37+5 and fed up! I'm hoping to go into labour very very soon. I haven't lost my mucous plug, my waters haven't broken and nothing has started yet. I definitely don't want to go over due and I definitely don't want inducing! I'm hoping to bring on labour in the next few days. Ive tried walking and eating pineapple and a spicy pot noodle! I won't try castor oil as ive read it can be dangerous for your baby. Has anyone got any suggestions? FTM here.

Answer

Nothing works unless your body is ready and baby is ready! That's why they give you a due date! You are still early girly! I know it's hard at the end of the pregnancy but baby will come!

This is my third and final pregnancy and the last two times I tried everything and realized nothing works unless your body is ready. I went past with both. Just because they give you a due date doesn't mean they are always correct unfortunately! 😭

Answer

I had no symptoms of labor approaching with my first. I was barely dilated, never lost my mucus plug or anything. Then one morning I felt a weird pop in my stomach and went to the bathroom and my water broke. I had my daughter 5 hours later. Sometimes your body may not seem like it's ready, but it could be any day! Don't get discouraged. That was at 37 weeks and 3 days. I'm currently pregnant with my second and am 37 weeks today. And I'm hoping he decides to come as early as his sister did!

Answer

I am right there with you girl. 37 weeks 1 day. 2 cm and 40% effaced as of Tuesday. I've been taking and inserting evening primrose oil pills so I am hoping that is doing the trick as I am very very uncomfortable and having a lot of pressure. I am hoping to go into labor soon. I can hardly even walk. Might try the pills and they may work for you too they worked for my first one. I went into labor at 37 weeks 2 days with my first son after taking them 2 days.
