Would I be a bad mom for this?

Question

I'm currently 32 weeks pregnant and I get constant yeast infections that don't go away, Utis and bv every couple weeks, terrible pressure, peeing myself everyday, stomach always hurts, back always spasms, constantly itchy all over and so much more! There's no way in hell I can go the whole 40 weeks 😓😓 When I'm 37 weeks I was thinking of doing things to jump start labor like drinking certain herbal teas, castrol oil, lots of walking/sex and whatever else I can think of... would I be a bad mom for doing that? I'm currently meassuring 36 weeks I been meassuring a month ahead the whole pregnant (20+ weeks) so by time I'm 36/37 weeks my daughter will be meassuring about 40 weeks anyway...

Answer

Do not take castor oil! Research the effects it has on you and the baby. It can make the baby have it's first bowel movement inside and cause complications!

Answer

Personally, I don't think you'd be a bad mom - but the last weeks are so important for baby. Every week counts. I honestly feel like your body will go into labor when it's ready regardless of self inducing - which haven't really been proven anyways.

Answer

I would discuss this with your doctor at your next appointment.

Answer

I think the choice is... at what point is my pregnancy so unhealthy and unbearable that it outweighs the risk of having the baby a few weeks early. Definitely sounds like the type of decision you need to make with a medical professional. If they think your concerns are valid enough and the baby is healthy enough to be born a little early, I'm sure they'll have the best advice on how to help start labor.

Answer

Please don't drink castrol oil. 
Castor oil is bad enough, Castrol would be terrible. And, you know, deadly.

Answer

TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR. 
Ask about how your health is and whether they are concerned. 
None of that other stuff works and some of it is dangerous. If you have to do something, I would only consider being induced medically. 
But I think the last month or two is the worst for all women.

Answer

I think walking and herbal teas is fine,try spicy food and pineapple but I wouldn't do castor oil, it can make the baby have a available bowel movement

Answer

My baby has been measuring five weeks ahead as well but my OB explained that it literally only means her size and weight is advanced, developmentally she is still 38 weeks. I'm scheduled for a csection Saturday at 39 weeks exactly.
