How do I start labor naturally ?

Question

!!!BEFORE ANYTHING!!! I'm not trying to have my baby early. Just a heads up :)I will be 35 weeks on Friday and I just want to know how I can make labor more easier for when the time comes it'll be faster and smoother. As of Dec 23 I'm 1cm dialated. I want to start dialating more. What can I do ? Walk, drink water, bounce on a ball ??? I KNOW baby will come when he is ready, and all I want is to help him a little more and help myself have a faster delivery:) thank you

Answer

Let it happen on its own

Answer

Try Evening Primrose Oil, it apparently helps ripen the cervix.

Answer

Rough sex (: that’s what put me into labor. I was 39w 3 days and I finally convinced my husband to have sex. It wasn’t even 3 hours later and I was woken up by strong menstrual like cramps. 3:30am until 11am I laid and talked to my mom and she finally took me into the hospital. I went from a 2 to a 4 and 80% effaced. 
Rough sex really does work!

Answer

I googled all the old wives tales and did them all around 38w4d. Something must have worked because I had her at 39 weeks exactly.. and all the women in my family usually go over due and need to be induced. I was not having that lol. Some things I did was chew on the core of a pineapple (after eating the whole thing 😆), bounced on the ball, walked on the elliptical and treadmill and ate spicy food the night I went into labor. 6 hours start to finish with only about 10 mins of pushing. I also drank red raspberry leaf tea for the last 10 weeks of pregnancy.

Answer

you cannot make yourself dilate. you do not want to dilate more the more you dilate the more open your cervix is and you're more exposed to infection and you uterus the baby the amniotic sac Etc just eat healthy walk everyday do some squats if you're comfortable doing so and when you go into labor you'll be strong and ready
