Is my baby ready to come out? Would it be unsafe to naturally induce?

Question

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?

Answer

Walk that baby out hunny!

Answer

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!

Answer

walking is totally safe. itll help baby Nestle into the birthing canal. I wouldnt do any more than that though. baby still has some cooking to do. 💕 usually want them to stay in as long as they can. 😊

Answer

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

Answer

I feel you on the back pain, I started getting it at 38 weeks and it is so hard to move or get up to pee at night lol. If you tried to induce this early I doubt it would work. I don’t think it would work any time unless the baby was already ready to come out.

Answer

your baby is going to come when they are ready. you can try everything under the sun but without the right hormones and chemicals being produced at the right time, your baby won't come.

Answer

Let your baby come when it’s ready! Don’t force induce yourself. 36 weeks is early anyways. I am 41 weeks and well over the point of being pregnant but I would never rush my baby out!
