Need advice

I’m 38 weeks, my next appointment is Monday and I will be 39 weeks on Tuesday.

I’m so absolutely DONE being pregnant.

My hips, back and legs hurt so bad I can barely walk around, getting in my car to take my fiancé to work kills me and it’s gotten to the point where nothing helps. I’m not even comfortable in my bathtub. my last appointment was this past Monday and because of the amount of pain I’m in he had me stop work early and has put me on partial bed rest. I can’t sleep because I’m so uncomfortable and when I shift positions in the bed I could literally cry because it hurts so bad. I have to wake my fiancé up at night to be able to get out of bed to pee because I physically cannot make myself do it. My cervix is still long and not dilated at all, and I’m constantly having Braxton-Hicks contractions. How do I talk to my doctor about being induced? She is head down (has been since 20 weeks) and she was measuring right at 6 pounds 2 weeks ago. Should I bring my fiancé to make my doctor take me more seriously? I have loved my doctor my entire pregnancy but when I go in I don’t feel that I’m being taken seriously as an adult, almost like He feels I’m over exaggerating. I’m 21 and a FTM. I just need some advice.

I’m not a doctor but I’ve had four kids already. You want this baby to come on their own? Insert 2 capsules of evening primrose oil up the vagina every night to thin your cervix. Then once you’re dilating I’d suggest taking the midwives brew. Medical induction is strong and painful. I would rather do everything naturally. There’s also a video on you tube called activating labor. Try that too. Good luck.

Walgreens or Walmart. The ones I got are 1,000 mg each and I insert two every night.

Following! I’m just about 38 weeks and I’m miserable. I have high blood pressure so I’m hoping they’ll just induce me because I cannot do this anymore

My doctor allows elective induction at and after 39 weeks. Just ask what their policy is baby has to come out eventually. If your in that much pain i would annoy the hell out of them untill they did it my mom did it with me and here i am lol

I’m 36 weeks and have a scheduled induction next week. So I want baby to come naturally.

They wouldn’t induce me when I had my son in 2017 until I was 4cm dilated. I dilated thanx to using evening primrose oil. Now I’m dilating again thanx to the same method but no elective induction this time. I’m taking the midwives brew and inducing naturally. I hear it really works. So I’m going to try it tonight and I will keep updating
