41+2 weeks! Had a sweep this morning, midwife said cervix was still posterior, hasn't softened or opened at all 😞. Booked in to be induced Friday night.. Really didn't want to have to be induced.. Feeling really upset and emotional about it all 😔 xxx
I swear by the bath, I lived in it lol! Have you also been drinking raspberry leaf tea? xx
This is what I did..Bounce and rotate on ball for 2 hours...helps open cervix, Get in the bath with some lavender oil..helps you relax. Go for an hour walk...pushes baba down...Bath with lavender oil, sex/stimulation haha 😉! if you have someone like a friend or family gwt them to give you a massage to relax you and then get them to push on your pressure points (there are specific labour inducing ones) xxx
It don't hurt being induced and the pain isn't unbearable. Depends how you take pain though tbh. It's not going to be pleasant either way. I didn't have an epidural and I don't think I needed one. I've never heard that you're more likely to have a C section. I was never told that. Don't worry so much. Being induced is fine. It's nothing like people make out at all. I was exactly the same with my boy. Nothing was happening at all. Your baby is obviously very cosy. Aha @jadejmb x
Your gonna have pain one way or the other😜. The whole point of having a baby. C section ain't all that bad, keep moving try and get baby out!! X
Because I was worried about the pain being worse and needing an epidural and if you are induced you are more likely to have a c section etc. just all things I didn't want to have to worry about. @carleyx xxx
:( such a shame @jadejmb I really hope baby makes a move before Friday! Xxx then you won't have to be induced xx
Thanks @jodipatton im just frustrated I guess and haven't got a lot of support around me today 😔. Xx
No I haven't been drinking it but I've been taking the tablets for the last 3 weeks. Does it make a difference? @lauralou1991 xxx
