Who is over 40 weeks?

Question

How are you feeling? What, if anything, are you doing to "induce" labor?

Answer

I'm 40+5, feeling pretty miserable physically. Was trying everything - sex, walking, raspberry leaf tea, EPO, pineapple, bouncing on the yoga ball.. everything but castor oil really - but I'm at the point now where I am just exhausted. So I'm just keeping my house clean for when I do finally get to bring my baby home & resting (AKA napping & Netflix binging) as much as I can!

Answer

40+3. Not really too miserable just impatient. Not doing much besides walking at this point to be honest. & keeping up with making sure the house is clean at all times in case I go into labor. 😂

Answer

40+2. I cant complain. I had a great pregnancy but carpal tunnel hit hard the past week and a half making it very hard to sleep. The only thing I'm stressing about is how many times they are trying to rush me to be induced. I'm a FTM, I want to try for as long as I can to go into labor on my own. Been having sex, using a birth ball, drinking raspberry leaf tea. Nothing yet. Hope soon :(

Answer

It's midnight here so I am officially 41 weeks. Being induced today. I am SO excited for this to be over.

Answer

40+3, no labor in sight. I've had a very painful pregnancy so I haven't been doing anything to try to induce labor. I think if I could go for long walks, etc, it would just frustrate me more that nothing is happening.

Answer

Today is my due date and I've been trying different things for two weeks to get things moving. Today I settled for a 3 hour nap instead 😂 I go on a long walk every night, bounce on the exercise ball throughout the day and do a lot of squats.

Answer

Im 40+4. Inducing at 41+1.. Were doing stretch and sweeps every second day and getting a foley catheter in my cervix at 41w... Im tired and huge. I am SO sore. I thought the last month was bad but omg this is horrid.. I can hardly walk. Im only 1cm and 50% effaced :(

Answer

Nothing to try and induce, and feeling run down. Baby is low and everything hurts. I never thought I could get this big.

Answer

Same. I'm also due today. I've been bouncing on the ball, walks, sex, spicy food, red rasp leaf tea, and nothing. Some prodromal labor last night, but it fizzled out. My first was born at 39+6, so going over is new to me.

Answer

40+1 and feeling great yet! I've had an easy pregnancy so I can't complain. Just getting impatient to meet my little!!

Walking, sex, acupressure points in my hands, and snuggling my dog (read it increases oxytocin output lol) but no signs of labor yet!
