I have a birthing ball at my last appointment I was at a 3 I’m so close and ready for this girl I have an induction scheduled but my midwife really thinks I can have her naturally and I really want to honestly I was induced the first time and this is my last baby so I don’t really want to be induced again but any tips or tricks besides the obvious sex which I’ve been trying lol would be appreciative s thnx mamas no rude comments pls

Answer

You can try it all but the baby will come on his or her own

So i walked 6 miles a day, bounced on the birth ball, ate a whole jar a jalapenos,  a whole pineapple, lots of sex 2x a day, took evening primrose oil, the whole 9 yards. But honestly you what really helped? Finally being able to TRULY relax.  I took a night to pamper myself, lavender essential oil in my bubble bath, shaved, exfoliated, pedicure, had my man lotion me up everywhere and brush my hair and thats what sent me into labor. I didnt realize I was too stressed to let labor start on its own! Thats what i did and she was born that night. Baby will come when baby is ready, but until then, relax yourself!

I went for a walk around the block with one foot on the curb while I walked. So I would step along the curb with one foot and along the roadside with the other so my pelvis was kind of tilted if that makes sense at all... lol. Then when I got home I ran up and down a small flight of stair outside my apartment (maybe 5-6 steps) did a small loop around my living room, through the kitchen and back to the stairs, repeat. Probably did it 5 times til I was too tired to continue. Then I sat down and ate an entire pineapple and went to bed. 😂 Woke up 4 hours later in labor. Went to the hospital 2 hours after contractions started and I was at 4cm. Make sure you are comfortable with that much exercise, don’t over exert yourself! Not saying it will work but it’s worth a shot. I was 38weeks and 2 days. Good luck! ♥️

Answer

It’s what we hear all the time, but going for walks, bouncing and rolling your hips on the ball, taking a warm bath to relax yourself, sex is suppose to help too but i know it’s hard being this far along lol. I had my membranes swept and did all of the above (except sex haha) and after trying all day after my last appointment I gave up. Literally, decided that even though my induction was set a week later that baby wasn’t coming until then. My water broke that night!

Answer

Walking walking and more walking, bouncing on birthing ball, and raspberry leaf tea brought my LO almost a week early. I did NOT want to be induced lol

Answer

There is no way to do it other than let your body start contractions or have meds that start contractions.

Answer

My second I looked up spinning babies, did some of one of there moves.
Water started leaking, not broke almost exactly 12hrs later.
Waited to go to hospital another 12hrs. Bc of no contractions. Didn't call doc either. I felt sick af tho and slept most of the day. 
I do not recommend that part lol. Docs were pissed. 
But i did it at 8pm say Friday night and had baby at 1:30am Saturday
