okay moms! I'm 39 weeks and 4 days. I went to the doctor today and I'm 3cm dialated with my cervix still being pretty thick. I am going to be induced Tuesday and 5:30 in the morning. I really don't want to be induced and Wang my son to come sometime this week or weekend that way my parents and brothers and sister can be there. any ideas on what I could do to help me dialated faster or put me in labor faster. other then: sex, walking, bouncing on a ball, or castor oil?
you don't have to be induced . you aren't medically in danger and you haven't Even reached 40 weeks . when the baby is ready he will come don't let them induce you . that's putting you at risk and they just get more money .
well bouncing on a yoga ball worked for me. i went into labor on my own the day b4 my induction date. good luck
oh and STAY AWAY FROM CASTER OIL !!! its dangerous . if you want something to drink go with pineapple juice or red leaf tea .
