So I had my son at 36 weeks and he was totally healthy . Is it safe to start trying to do home induction methods at 36…

Right now the only symptom is protein in my urine

I'm not sure if this is the start of getting preeclampsia again but by this time for my son I already had more symptoms of it

They didn't induce me I had an emergency c-section

Nothing is worth risking your baby's health. Especially impatience. Give it time, mama 😊

@cmorales86, so they induced you? you're developing pre-eclampsia again?

I'm not sure if it's brewing and I'll probably get it again or if this time I will make it until the end

I started having protein in my urine about a month ago

I had preeclampsia for him and he was breech

@cmorales86, @mamalamadingdong I'm dying to see my baby girl too but I don't want to risk her health so I didn't even attempt to self induce. It's your choice but at 36 weeks it's still considered preterm labor. Do what you think is best but I'd honestly let her bake until she's ready. Your son came on his own at 36 weeks right?

I agree with @ngujen. If your body isn't ready you will just wear yourself out on home induction techniques. Better to just let what's going to happen happen :)

@ngujen,

I agree with @ngujen. And honestly, although I completely understand wanting your baby out, I get frustrated when I see posts like this about wanting to self-induce early.

I'm dying to meet her already and she's already almost 6 pounds I feel like she will be a healthy little girl

not every baby will come out healthy at 36 weeks. Some were born at 36 weeks and they had to stay in the NICU. in my opinion though, self inducing doesn't even work, the baby will let you know when he/she is ready.
