Squats to induce Labor?

Question

I am 37 weeks and 5 days and feel like my daughter literally does not have much room to move anymore. I've hear of pineapple and sex to induce labor but no success here. I also heard squats work to induce labor.. Has anyone tried this and it actually worked?

Answer

I'll be all about squats if I get to term! Worst case scenario, my butt gets a good workout. Win-win!

Answer

Apparently nothing works lol I guess they'll come out whenever THEY'RE ready. We've gotta learn to be patient... Unfortunately 😔

Answer

I've been doing squats, bouncing on yoga ball, walking, dancing, evening primrose oil, red raspberry leaf tea, sex.......nothing has worked for me so far..... 😢

Answer

Nipple stimulation is something that has been medically documented as working. Not sure if it's true or not but worth a try...

Probably just another old wives tale but I'll be trying it in a few weeks :-)

Answer

I heard nipple stimulation works too

Answer

My coworker was telling me last night that she did squats her last pregnancy and her daughter came a week early.

Answer

I've been doing squats my entire pregnancy...soooo, idk that they bring on labor exactly, but they are surely must be good to prepare your body for labor.

Answer

From what I have read, squats prepare you for labor, and might help baby get in the right position but I haven't read that it will bring on labor.  Good idea to do them anyway though, I think.

Answer

I've been doing squats trying to get my baby to drop but no luck ): I'm 37 weeks.

Answer

I tried squats, pineapple, walking a TON, sitting cross legged (Indian style). Nothing worked. Didn't do Castor Oil because my friend took it and got horrible diarrhea and ended up dehydrated with no baby in the end. The dr told her it was a bad idea because it could make baby poo inside and get an infection. Nothing has ever worked and this is my third.
