Inducing labor?

Question

38 weeks here and wondering if anyone has started to do anything to help induce/prepare your body for labor? If so please drop some suggestions of what I should be doing to help baby along. He’s head down and I’m 1cm dilated. I’m in no rush to have him but if he could come earlier that’d be great 😩😭

Answer

I’m the same! 38 weeks and was only a fingertip dilated on Friday. 🙁 We did a small sweep and I was pretty crampy for a day and a half, felt some hormone changes, so hopefully it helped progress things a little. 😅 Wouldn’t be mad if baby wanted to come now. I’m FINALLY starting to feel a bit of the nesting urge/energy so hopefully that’s a sign 😂 my first came at 37 weeks so I’m soooo curious when this one is coming. 
Anyways; things I’m doing daily (majority won’t help induce/progress things, but hopefully have some benefits, worth a shot 😂) 
- eating dates 
-raspberry leaf tea 
-walking 
-squats 
-sex (when my husband is in town from work) 
-eating pineapple 😂 (serious craving for it too) 
-birthing ball exercises/stretches 
That’s about it 😝

Answer

I go for daily walks with my husband. But that’s more for the fresh air and exercise then actually trying to get baby to come. (As much as i want him to be born now I know he’ll come when he’s ready. On his birthday and not a day sooner/later 😉)

Answer

I’m bouncing on my exercise ball, going for walks every day and drinking raspberry leaf tea but other than that, just waiting now for baby to decide he is ready (39+4). I might have a sweep done at my appointment on Friday though to see if that helps anything along.
