Walk that baby out hunny!
Is my baby ready to come out? Would it be unsafe to naturally induce?
Okay so I am only 36 weeks but I think my baby and body are ready. Now I lost my mucus plug about a week ago, then a couple days later my bloody show. I started having stronger Braxton-Hicks that got closer together. Then I started spotting. I got checked and my cervix was very soft and thinned. I have lot of back pain and a lot of cramps. I’m cramping now and Braxton-Hicks now have period like cramps with them. Not too bad tho. My baby’s fully engaged. My back hurts so bad. My hips and pelvis bone feel broken, I can barely walk. I’m constantly sick. Very tired but have major insomnia. And I either poop ten times a day or I’m constipated for days. I feel like it’s time. Is it bad if I try and walk a lot to get her out? I’m so uncomfortable. I wouldn’t really do anything besides walk. Is it safe? I feel so selfish trying to get her out but she’s growing a week and two days ahead and I just have this feeling that’s she’s ready. What do you all think?

Lung development isn’t complete until 37-38 weeks but many babies that are born before then don’t require intervention. They would possibly give you steroids though. That being said, it won’t hurt to walk, bounce, dance, have sex, etc (the known safe ways to bring on labor). I wouldn’t go as far as drinking any concoctions or things like that. Hope she comes soon for your sake!
Walk all you want, just don’t try to rush it too much. I know the end of pregnancy sucks but keeping baby in until 39/40 weeks is what’s best for them. 36 weeks is close but there is still developing that happens in those last few weeks. Of course if your body is ready then it’s ready, and walking isn’t anything bad so go for it
