Fast and quick labor ?

Question

Hi ladies 👋🏻
I just wonder, do you eat or drink something for easy and quick labor ? I am drinking raspberry leaf tea and sitting on the Pilates ball. What else I can do for it ? It is going to be mine second labor. First one took 18 hours 🤦🏻‍♀️🤢 
And also my babies measurement 2 weeks ahead because of the gestational diabetes. 2 weeks ago she was 6 lb 13 oz 😂 I am feeling already 40 weeks 😂😂🤣 (now36+6 weeks)

Answer

Eating dates
Evening primrose oil
Walking 
Sex 
deep yoga stretches
Peanut ball (while in labor)
Stall with getting epidural(while in labor)
Try your best to keep switching positions and walking (while in labor)
And most of all try to think of your contractions as a wave that's coming but eventually washes away..that should help you remain calm because the more you stress,the more your body tenses up..which can stall labor,cause babies heart rate to drop and can lead to an emergency C-section 💜 good luck to you love💜

Answer

I’ve read about eating dates helping

Answer

I did absolutely nothing 😂 1st was less than 16 hours from water breaking until birth
2nd was less than 8 hours from contractions starting to birth
3rd was a c section for breech
This baby I'm holding in sneezing for fear of birthing from it lol kidding but my doctor also expects it to go even faster from how my other labors progressed

Answer

With my second I bounced on the exercise ball every chance I had, drank raspberry leaf tea, and ate pineapple and labor started naturally and was only 4 hours long! I’m hoping for that again this time but I know it could be different.
I choked down dates with my first one and it was 8 hours, not bad for the first round but hard to say if it was the dates or if I just have quick labors.

Answer

My pregnant with my 4th and I’ve tried almost everything under the sun to naturally induce and to get a short labor. Nothing help, I had tried pineapple, dates, dancing, walking, sex, teas, and so on. I will say the more kids you have the shorter, but more intense the labor gets. I had a 36 hour labor with my oldest, my first son was 11 hours, and my youngest daughter was out in 5hrs  from water break to birth. It’s just different every time.

Answer

Each delivery is typically so insanely different but I will say since this is your second you are more than likely going to go quicker than your first. My first was over 24 hours and my second was 4 hours and 12 minutes from the time of being hooked up to pitocin to delivery. First pregnancy baby was 9lbs. 4 oz. second baby was 8lbs 5 oz. and my third delivery took every bit of 8 hours and he was 8lbs 6oz. I will say my second delivery I used the peanut ball and they were very good about flipping me from side to side I think that helped a lot and I will be requesting that this time. I’ve always done the evening primrose and the raspberry leaf tea with all pregnancies but this one I started it much earlier so it would have time to build. I also incorporated dates this time and I’ve never done that before. I eat them probably every other day so not sure how effective that is 🤷🏻‍♀️ the exercise ball helps open up that pelvis and with dilation and effacement. I think all these things are small things that could *potentially* contribute to a quicker, smoother labor but you just never know. Some babies are just comfy inside Mama and don’t want to budge for awhile 😂 I’m 36 + 3 and had my cervix checked yesterday and I’m 2cm dilated and 50% effaced. Baby girl is not sitting as low as my 3 boys were so it’ll be interesting to see how it all plays out.
