Pineapples??

Question

I was told by a few friends to eat and drink pineapples!! That it helps with the baby to come!! 39 weeks tomorrow and I'm not even at 2 cm yet. Any ideas on how to get him going? Besides sex??

Also is it okay to masterbate being this far along??

Answer

You would actually have to eat 4-6 pineapples. Lol It will help soften your cervix, but not jump start contractions. :) They're still really good for you though.
Try walking, more walking, squatting, dancing, using a birthing/yoga ball, deep tissue foot massage (what got things started for me my first pregnancy), nipple stimulation, orgasm, and relaxing/calming breathing techniques (meditation) may all help get thing going!!! 
Wishing the best for you! ❤

Answer

You'd have to eat way more pineapple than you could ever eat in one sitting for it to have any effect. Sex is good. Yes it's okay to masturbate. Just remember to keep whatever you're using clean! Try to keep active. Walking and squats work well!

Answer

Nipple stimulation is said to be effective for inducing labour as it releases the contraction-causing hormone oxytocin. Your nipple stimulation should mimic a baby suckling, because this is how the oxytocin release will be triggered. Massage your whole nipple, one at a time, including the areola, for five minutes. Then take a 15 minute break, and try this again on the other breast if nothing has happened. You should repeat this for about an hour, three times a day. You should cease nipple stimulation once labour has started.
