How do I make my pregnancy last 40 weeks or more?

Question

I'm hoping for a Gemini baby and May 22 is right after the cut off of Taurus. I'm an Aquarius and I'm just hoping for a Gemini baby!!🤗♊💗 Does anyone have tips on making a pregnancy last 40 weeks?

Answer

Is this your first? Most first time moms give birth after the 40 week mark, so your chances are good. Even second time moms give birth after that point. Generally speaking, the baby will come when the baby is ready and there’s not a lot you can do if your body decides it’s time. However, I would personally limit the amount of physical activity I do (including sex), and avoid all the foods that supposedly help labour come sooner (e.g spicy food).

Answer

If it’s your first, you’re likely to go past 40 weeks anyway. But other than that, I don’t recommend trying to keep baby in any longer than they need to be. Placentas start to age and your risk for csection goes up as the days go on

Answer

Were any of your other baby’s on or past their due date ….. I think that’s really your only hope ! For me babies 1, 2 and 3 were all born at 40 weeks and beyond (41w6d, 40w1d, and 40w6d) 
Also avoiding unnecessary cervical checks may help …..
 Babies 4 and 5 both born 38 weeks and 4 days for me but I was much older than when I had my first 3 ….
