When would you start?

Question

I want to try & start get dilation/labour going early. If that’s even possible lmao 😅 I want to start doing whatever it is that could possibly get labour going sooner at 37 weeks. Is this achievable? I do know that baby will come when he’s ready but yeah, I’d like to speed up the process 😅

Answer

...Not really.

Answer

Well nothing would work unless baby is ready to come. You’ll only end up with cramps and frustration and I’m saying this from previous experience. I’ll also add that I had to be induced at 37+3 with my third for medical reasons (related to me not him) and he was much smaller than my older two who came at 39+4 and 39+6. He had issues with low temp his first night and had to be kept in the warmer. He developed jaundice (which is a bigger issue for babies born before 38 weeks) and had to be readmitted to the hospital for light therapy. My older two did have very mild jaundice as I breastfed them but it didn’t need treatment as they were bigger and their bodies managed to clear it.

Answer

It’s good to walk a lot and stay hydrated. But be careful trying to get labor going so early. While some babies can come on their own at 37 weeks with no issues, other babies cause have issues coming to early. It’s best not to attempt trying to get labor going before 38 weeks and speak to your doctor about this as well. 
Raspberry leaf tea can help soften your cervix an you can’t start drinking at early at 36-37 weeks to get your body ready for 38 weeks. I feel this really helped me with all 3 of my babies. Also at 38 weeks you can ask for a membrane sweep which can cause dilation with 24-48 hours for most women. 
Good luck and please don’t do anything that can be harmful to you or your baby.

Answer

your baby isn’t developed enough to safely deliver before 37 weeks. be patient. once you’re teen which is 39 weeks, then you can start trying to induce labor
