Anyone know of anything else to help jump start things?? I am so beyond ready to have my son!!
@jaxxons_momma1997, I'm having a membrane sweep done tomorrow because I really don't want to be induced w/ meds
At least you have dilated and effaced some! @xoxoryleigh I haven't dilated or effaced and will be induced next week if my son still hasn't come because my doctor doesn't like to go past 41 weeks because of the mortality rate with baby, and he may end up having to manually dilate me to a one to jump start things 😞 that's what happened to my friend who had my doctor
@jaxxons_momma1997, I feel ya momma. I can't even sit up straight anymore without being in constant pain, and my kidney has been backed up for weeks now. I'm dilated to 2 & 80% effaced & nothing's working for me either. :/
@bets, I drink chamomile tea to help me sleep lol and @livfelber I am due Sunday, my mom never lost her plug or had her water break with me just contractions and I came the day before I was due so maybe I'll get lucky and he will come Saturday! Lol if so it would be really cool cause I was due April 6th and came April 5th and my son is due December 6th so it'd be kinda ironic to have him come December 5th lol. And @xoxoryleigh it wouldn't be so bad but I'm about to hit 39 weeks and 4 days and I'm constantly in pain. There's no harm in trying anything that has worked for other people at this point
girl I know how you feel! @jaxxons_momma1997 I'm the same way! not dilated or effaced or lost my plug yet it sucks, my cousin was that way with her daughter and she went into labor like a week later so hopefully you'll go soon!
Nothing will work unless your body is ready. Which I know you're gonna hate to hear, because trust me I hate hearing it but it's so true. I've tried EVERYTHING and nothing will work.
@livfelber, I haven't dilated or effaced at all, and haven't lost my mucus plug either 😞 and didn't get an exercise ball because it's too late into my pregnancy and can't afford it, @mommyhammond2016 I live in the green chile state (home to a ton of spicy food) and it hasn't helped at all either 😞 gonna try bouncing on the edge of my bed and see if it'll help!
spicy food sex if u can bouncing on the edge of your bed and walking up a small hill helps
well I will buy lots of pineapples tomorrow and tell ya if it works lol @babyalien ! @jaxxons_momma1997 oh man! are you dilated at all? did you try the exercise ball?
i heard that you have to eat like 7 fresh pineapple. if you have a breast pump you can try pumping (it suppose to really help) or just nipple stimulation
I've done walking, dancing, squats, pineapple, (no sex-single and don't want to risk catching anything), nothing seems to be working :( @babyalien
@xoxoryleigh, I wish I could get a sweep done but not being dilated at all my doctor doesn't want to risk it Hurting me a lot, I will find out Monday if I'm dilating any or not and they will monitor baby's heartbeat to see how he is doin and then we will set an induction date 😞
