Is it true ?

Question

Does eating and doing all types of movement or excersie really help with labor? Or is it all made up. I honestly dont know what to do i still dont have no signs of labor what so ever and dont want to get induced 😖

Answer

This is a great question. I've walked and tried nipple stimulation but nothing has happened. I'm 40+1 weeks

Answer

Sex does give me contractions that eventually stop. They did manage to dilate me till 4cm and I'm 75%effaced but they are painful and every 3minutes without actually putting me into active labor.

Answer

There are no studies that have been done that prove that eating certain foods or doing certain thinks help to induce labor. Unfortunately 😫😫😫 baby will come when he/she and your body are ready.

Answer

I walk like crazy,climb stairs, swim, sex, hardly ever sit still and at 39 w 2 d am still completely closed. But 90% effaced. So for me, no lol.

Answer

My doctor just says nipple stimulation and sex that's it.

Answer

I think it only really helps speed things up

Answer

My understanding is that somethings, like walking, can help the babies head engage but won't start labor.  Also stretches and exersice can make labor easier for your body.  All the foods and teas will only give you a bump of you are already about to in labor because they upset your bowls and get muscles contracting in the same area.   Nipples and sex seem to have more proof of helping your body prepare for and start labor.  But nipple stimulation hurts!

Answer

I have been walking 3 miles every single day since 37 weeks and I'm now 40+2, no dilation yet.

Answer

I've been doing everything. Here at 39+1 I am only 3 cm about 80% effaced but been having regular contractions about 5 minutes apart since this morning. Unclear if they are going to let me go home for a bit or make me stay. I'd really like to go home since I came straight from work!
