What helped you go into labour? What did you do more of the week before labour??!

Question

I'M REALLY TRYING TO AVOID BEING MEDICALLY INDUCED ANY INFORMATION IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Answer

I did LOTS of walking and squats during both of my pregnancies. My first I went into labor at 38 weeks. My second my membranes were stripped at 39 weeks went into labor the next day

Answer

I had 2 membrane sweeps, walked, bounced on my yoga ball every night for weeks, tried labor cookies and my daughter didn't decide to come until the day I was set for induction. I showed up in labor already. 
I say this not to discourage you but to let you know that sometimes these things don't work. I was induced with my youngest son, its not all that bad. It was actually my easiest labor and delivery.

Answer

I had my membranes swept on my due date. 
Then I walked and did more walking. I did a bunch of squats, walked a bunch of stairs, and bounced on a birthing ball like a mad woman.
I went into labor the day after my sweep and after all the above. 
I would say the walking and birthing ball helped the most!

Answer

Nothing. Had to be medically induced. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I did everything they say to do and NOTHING worked. I finally said fuck it and went swimming. I had my son the next day 😂. I'm gonna try that with this baby as well when the time comes.

Answer

Membrane sweep at 41+5, nothing else worked, I had been trying everything since 38 weeks haha

Answer

A cervix check

Answer

Nurses told me that nipple stimulation or pumping was the only way that would really help.

Answer

Don’t bounce on the birthing ball, sit on it and roll your hips in small circles. I’m not sure if that is actually what did it, but I went into labor the next morning after I did that for about 15 minutes each direction.

Answer

nipple stimulation, contractions started within two hours
