Tips for self induction or to encourage labor?

Question

I’m 35 weeks and have a scheduled induction for 39 weeks. Due to distance from the hospital and my history of not feeling any contractions even when I’m active labor. I really want to encourage her to come on her own. What’s out there that encourages labor or preps your body for labor to start? Plan on starting in the next week or so! 🤍 TIA!

Answer

You are considered term until 37 weeks so anyone who gives you advice is just as irresponsible! I almost lost my third baby and desperately held him in until 37 weeks! Be grateful your baby is happy staying in there! It’s a blessing!

Answer

Please dont self induce before you are full term. Doctors wont even induce until 39 weeks because their little lungs arent fully developed before then

Answer

Honestly nothing... babies come when they are ready... my first came at 37 weeks and my third came at 42 weeks 🤷🏻‍♀️ I was supposed to be induced at 39 weeks but I decided to let babe decide especially since there were no health concerns..

Answer

Baby won’t come if they aren’t ready. 36 isn’t even considered full term.

Answer

They cannot force an induction on you, if you don't want to be induced tell your doctor no. 
Ive read good things about red raspberry leaf tea and dates for prepping your body for labor, neither are labor inducing but some studies suggest they make for easier labor.

Answer

If you planned and induction because if history with not feeling contractions, don’t you think it best not to try and start labor before that point? If an natural induction works you still might not feel anything.
