HOW CAN I HELP START LABOR?!!

Question

I’m 39 weeks pregnant and my doctor told me we are basically just playing a waiting game for labor to start. Any suggestions?? Other than castor oil, I can’t hack it 🤢🤮 But please give me ideas! What have you other mommies tried that actually worked? I’m ready to hold my sweet boy!

Answer

Really nothing will all thing that say they can help don't really help I had to be induced I was having sex jumping jacks leg lunges dancing anything you can think of(ps I was also in early labor stages

Answer

Moving around a lot helped me. I did a bunch of lunges and bounced on a yoga ball the day before I went into labor. But if your body isn’t ready, it won’t help. It’s mostly to help speed things up once your body is starting to be ready.

Answer

Just rest ! Save your energy ! 
I wasted so much energy trying to safely met this little boy, ended up 11 days late with a failed induction needing an emergency c section. So as annoying as it might sound, just let baby come when it’s ready cause I really don’t believe all those old wives tales do a thing !

Answer

Sex!

Answer

I tried nearly everything. Nothing worked for me.   I went into labor at 41 weeks.

Nothing worked for me. I would walk everyday. I even washed 2 miles and then went to fair and walked for 3 hours (39&6w). Had sex a few times a day, squats, and spicy foods. I went 40&5.

Sex can help, certain foods like dates are shown to be beneficial, walking and exercising... but I’ve tried it all and I’m 41+4
