Ok ladies. I need some help. My doctor said my daughter is expected to be 10lbs by the end of next week and has scheduled a c section Friday the 8th because of that. I am absolutely terrified of having a c section but I’m more terrified of my daughter getting stuck and possibly injured. So I need to go into labor ASAP before she gets too big to birth naturally. (I asked to be induced but her superior won’t approve induction based on size alone).

Things I’ve tried:

All the walking and bouncing on a yoga ball. For days. Only accomplished swollen fingers.

Sex

Nipple Stimulation

Spicy Food

Dancing

The only thing I refuse to do is castor oil. I’m considering evening primrose oil. Any tips?

I know “nothing will MAKE you go into labor” but that’s not going to stop me from encouraging as much as I can. I REALLY don’t want a c section. Also, all the L&D folks and my dr are completely on board with me getting labor started any way I can, safely obviously.

One more thing: I’m dilated to 2 and baby has dropped. I’ve not been told a position or effacement.

Thanks y’all!
