Tips for encouraging labor
I'm currently 37+6 with my third child. I've been induced with both my kids because my body refuses to start labor naturally. I'm truly blessed to have a third child coming so soon, but since this is my last pregnancy I would love to experience a natural labor. (And by natural labor I do not mean without the drugs. God bless those strong women who can do it without an epidural, I am not one of you. But I respect the heck out of you.) I mean I would love to have my water break or regular contractions without pitocin or cervadil or a scheduled date with the doctor.
Maybe I ask too much because all children are blessings and to be honest I am perfectly okay with how this child arrives as long as she's healthy. But does anybody have anything that has actually worked for them? Something other than castor oil or pineapple or any other old wives tale? I walk constantly. I do squats and exercises. I have regular "dates" with my husband because I'm blessed to still want it 😁. I'm currently 2 cm dilated and 50% effaced as of my doc appt last week. Anything?
