What did you do to help baby come sooner?

Question

I wont start until im 37 weeks which is in 3 days. I cant wait anymore i really cant what did you do to go into labor??

Answer

You’re not full term until 39 weeks. At 37 weeks, the baby’s lungs still need to develop a little more. No matter what you try though, baby will probably come when it wants. 
Please do NOT drink castor oil.

Answer

Just wait. Baby will come when it’s ready or when the doctors decide it’s what’s best for you and baby.

Answer

37wks is still early you aren’t full term til 39wks. Please don’t be selfish let you baby come when they are ready!!!!

Answer

My doctor gave me the heads up to start trying to encourage labor on my own at 37 weeks with my last two! She stripped my membranes and said to walk lots/have sex! With my son nothing helped and I was induced at 39 weeks. With my daughter I was a day short of being 38 weeks when we tried sex after not having any pretty much my entire 3rd trimester. It worked like a charm and I was admitted into the hospital to have her a couple hours later. I agree baby probably won’t come until he/she’s ready, but it is not going to hurt you or the baby to try these natural remedies to encourage labor. Don’t let anyone make you feel bad for being ready to have that baby. I know I will be doing the same when I get to 37 weeks! 😂

Answer

There’s a bunch of theories about things you can do like sex, walking, raspberry leaf tea. But baby will only come when it’s ready.

Answer

Everything because nothing worked lol. So i was induced. But i didnt start trying until 39 weeks. Baby came at 41 weeks

Answer

My mom ate lots of pineapple and it helped her after about a week. All of her babies, including me, were born between 36-38 weeks and we were all fully developed and didn’t require any extra time in the hospital. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 
I think it just really depends. I understand 39 weeks is technically full term, but if your doctor gives you the ok, I’d go ahead and start with walking, having sex, eating pineapple, eating spicy food, etc.
