Really don't like the negative judgment that comes when you tell people your trying to induce labor 😳😳😳 Of course I…

I had my c section 37 weeks and 6 days. My son is in the nicu for breathing. Let your baby sty in as long as possible. It wasn't my choice to have him taken out early. They were trying to prevent stillbirth. My son was just a bit small but not too much. He was 6 pounds so I don't know how much your baby weighs they will come when they're ready. I'm it judging you by the way I'm just saying.

Eating Pineapple will work and obviously sex bc semen softens the cervix

Spicy foods too

You do whatever you need to do to have a healthy baby! Your the mommy you know what's best! Weather it's inducing yourself or whatever you choose! I didn't feel comfortable with pitocin ethier and so when they induced me they didn't give me any and my body started dilating on its own!

Oh no its OK I understand what you're saying. my goal isn't to have my daughter now it's just to get myself to start dilating again. i don't need anything to happen fast just to happen a bit. I just want her to come on her own when she's ready but unless I progress at least a little my doctor won't let that happen. hopefully that explains what I'm trying to do better. baby is over 7 pounds right now. I'm glad your son is ok. @princevince

Thanks ladies the support is really appreciated. I've heard pineapple but I really don't like it lol we've been trying sex and spicy food though.

pitocin just frightens me. I've done a lot of reading and it seems like it increases your chances of needing a c section by a good bit because it can cause the baby to go into distress. (no judgment for getting an elective one I'm just terrified of the idea but I wish I wasn't)

I'm just trying to do what I think is safest for her :) @cmorales86 @tysonnsmommy @qveenkels

Don't be afraid of a c-section I had one for my son and I have a planned one for this baby it's not bad the only think is the recovery but u will be fine and it's all worth it in the end

If I need one I'll definitely not argue at all. I just get nervous because I have never had any type of surgery @cmorales86

I am in the same situation as you I always go to 42 weeks my Dr suggested using primrose oil and raspberry lead tea it won't start labor but it will help get your cervix and dilation going I've already seen progress within this last week.

leaf not lead*

I've heard that tea helps. I'll have to keep looking for it when I went to the store they didn't have it. idk if I have to go to a specialty store? @nicoleduvall91

no I went and got mine at hyvee Walmart has it too...it will say raspberry herbal tea @bbyenolan22

Maybe our Walmart isn't big enough lol that's where I tried. I'll have to go to the super Walmart@nicoleduvall91

🙌🙌🙌

Try doing squats!!!! I think that's what jump started my labor. There are a bunch of yoga poses that are easy to do also and can help u dialate. Good luck

I'll be 39 weeks Monday.. I haven't noticed anything as well. No mucus plug or anything. Or no signs of her wanting to come out. Not even my doctor said anything about it. The only thing she said was see you next appointment if you do make it.. They never check my cervix only once at 36 weeks. So I'm pretty much lost. Lol she hasn't even said anything about inducing me or making an appointment.

I've been doing squats and lunges! Thursday we will know if it's helping! Thank you @kibella22

I haven't lost my mucus plug either lol. hopefully things start moving for you! @lunabuena

@bbyenolan22, np.

I don't think any of that really is a definite indicator. Two days before I went into labor I went to my Drs and everything was fine, I was 1cm dilated and she said it was normal for 38 weeks and that it looked like I would make it to my due date. I was ok when I left and had no signs of labor at all up until that fateful day. I had no Braxton hicks, water never broke, no bloody show. I ended up having my baby 3 days later.

I hope that is how it works! I see her Thursday and she said she's gonna check if I'm dilated again and go from there. I'm hoping she decides it OK @kibella22
