I'm feeling stuck. I have the option of being induced and although it's the last thing I want, I…

Just talk to your doctor and voice your concerns. Chances are getting that out to them will help you and your doctor both feel more comfortable.

maybe trying some natural way of speeding up the process?@bria.k ..I've heard of drinking tea and cranberry juice as well as taking long walks and hot showers..hope everything goes well for y and ur baby girl

@tiffany_sanft, I don't have any more appointments. She said to go into L&D every other day for monitoring and the next time she sees me I should be having my baby.

@bria.k, I see. I'm sorry, I can understand why you'd be feeling that way. 😕 maybe just try to relax. Go for a long walk and then take a nice bath and try some raspberry leaf tea. Just try to remain calm and listen to your body. You got this ❤️

I'm at 40 weeks, 5 days currently and getting induced on Sunday. I was induced at 10 days over my due date with my first baby. My second child came on her own at 40 weeks, 3 days. I was hoping this time around my baby would come on her own again but here I am 2 days before induction date and still no baby. As much as I have mixed feelings about forcing her out, I would rather her be induced to save from complications. I know a lot of women don't get induced and their babies turn out fine but for me personally I just don't want to risk it. Do what feels right for you and your family.

Get an exercise ball that works roll back and fourth.

@mjmommy, I've done it all! Tea, spicy food, pineapple, squats, sex, etc etc. she's just not ready! Thank you though. 😊

@tiffany_sanft, I've been drinking the raspberry leaf tea with two tea bags and letting it steep until it's cooled. It's honestly disgusting to me lol but if it'll help, I'll try it! I know it'll happen the way it should but it's definitely taking a toll! Thanks for the support. 💓

Our jobs as mommies is to bring our Lil nuggets into this world safely, by any means necessary.. you got this @bria.k you are the only one that knows what's best for you and your baby 👍💕🙌

@c_leach2, I'm planning to wait until 42w unless there's complications. It doesn't feel right to be induced but I just want her to be safe!

@mommyof2boys248, I've got three of them! Lol. I've been using my big ball and my peanut ball and doing all sort of bouncing and rolling and rocking!

@bria.k, of course! Sending positive vibes your way ❤️

Well try thinking about it from a different angle. The longer you wait could spare you from things going wrong because of less interventions...and who says she was 'supposed' to be here by a certain date? It's a guess date at best, no due date and there's no late fee if she goes past it lol. She'll come when she and your body is ready. Remember the more your body prepares now, the easier labor will be. You got this mama, just breathe and meditate to relax and let it happen! You won't even be thinking about due dates after she is here!

@mommabird, that's what I'm telling myself! If I don't get induced then there's not a chance that the induction might not work or complications from it and not a chance of emergency c section! These are the longest weeks of my life though, honestly. And I know she's "supposed" to come whenever she's ready but when people keep telling you you're past due and it's dangerous and everybody around you has their babies on time or early it's just stressful! Then I feel like I'm prolonging it more by letting myself be affected by it all! I've been trying meditation the last two days and imaging her lowering herself and getting into position.
