What helped prepare your body?

Question

So my baby is still breech but anything can happen 🤞🏻I’m 36 weeks and wanting to know what I can do to try and help my body prepare for labor. Even if I am not able to have a natural birth I figure it would help with the recovery process. I’ve been having a lot of pelvic pain so I know my body is already trying to prepare. The only thing I’ve been doing recently is going on walks and it is getting hard and painful.

Answer

Spinning babies website, drinking water, bouncing on the yoga ball and etc. but some babies will not turn no matter what

Answer

Try Spinningbabies.com they have great methods for getting baby to turn.

Answer

As this is my first pregnancy I have only used Evening primrose oil orally twice a day since I was 36 weeks. I’m currently 37 weeks, 2 centimeters dilated and 70% effaced as of my 36 week appointment last Wednesday. It could be the oil or it could be pure coincidence. Walking and deep squats helped my baby flip head down though and get engaged.

Answer

With my first I drank 3- 4 cups of red rasbery leaf tea a day, ate 3 of the big dates a day starting at 36 weeks and starting at 38 weeks I started using evening primrose vaginally and had no tearing at all, a 13 hour labor, and I only pushed for 10 minutes. I am doing the same this time around but adding in birthing ball exercises
