anybody have anyways to get labor started? I have gone into labor 3 times but my doctor said today…

sex

sex. go walk outside at the park, if it's not cold where you live. just please, for the love of god, do not drink castor oil!

walling walling walking and bouncing on a big ball

No no! I have seen so many things go wrong with castor oil.. I will never do that!

But the funny thing is my fiance refuses to have sex with me because the doctor keeps stopping my labor and he is scared he is hurting him

@firsttimemommy13, @losmartinez

he isn't going to hurt him with sex

if you're only 37 weeks I wouldn't be wanting to bring labor on.

If anything the sex will put baby to sleep ahah

37 weeks is full term.. The doctor said he would be perfectly fine if he came now

I really just want him here, in my arms! I will pretty much do anything besides castor oil

girl...your DOCTOR said it was cool so do what you want. its your pregnancy not hers smh

I understand where she is coming from but your right it is my pregnancy and the doctor said it was fine, so I see no problem with it

ok, I'm sorry but the problem is that obviously your baby isn't ready to come yet. why would you not want you child to finish developing for a couple more weeks? at this point, if labor starts on its own, yeah it's ok, but it's best for your baby to stay in there for a couple more weeks. that's what @mrsgeorge means.

thanks @maybabyboy haha i guess I thought that was obvious lol

Ik what she meant @maybabyboy . what I meant was that I have been in labor 3 times and they just give me sleeping pills and send me home. I have contractions daily just my water hasn't broken yet. @kaliyahsmommy does have a point though.. it is my pregnancy and I know what I have gone through. my doctor said it was fine and has given me shots to make sure he is fully developed in case my water does break..

like I said do what your doctor said you could do.

I'm not fighting with anybody on here.. The doctor said it was fine so to me it is. We all have our own opinion

@jakesmomma15, I had my son at 36 weeks. My labor was stopped twice because I almost had him too early, they told me after 35 weeks they wouldn't stop it anymore and I was on pills to stop my contractions until 35 weeks. I had been bouncing on the ball for a couple days and the night before I had him my contractions were 3-5 minutes apart(they were always close even when they were just Braxton hicks) so I got on the yoga ball and bounced for about an hour, anything that moves your hips is good. Woke up around 7 am kept thinking I had to pee and when I stood up from the toilet my water broke. I didn't go to the hospital for maybe an hour and a half because I was gettin things together and contractions weren't bad. By the time I got to the hospital I could barely walk but was only dilated to a 2 and 1/2. But I think the ball definitely helped. I had also walked around the mall that day but everyone always says walk so I'm sure you're trying that too.

Yes lol! I have been walking like there is no tomorrow for a while now. But I think I will get the yoga ball and try it out!! @rennysmommy I have been feeling really bad pressure down there all day today so hopefully the yoga ball will help!

I am already 2cm dilated and he is sitting at -1

@jakesmomma15, I'm convinced the yoga ball really gets things going! You have to really bounce, obviously nothing crazy that's gonna hurt the baby, but If you just do little bounces it isn't gonna work. And moves those hips back and forth. Especially if you're feeling pressure I think it just might do the trick!

@rennysmommy, fingers crossed!! I will let you know if it helps any!

@jakesmomma15, I'll be waiting to hear from you, Crossing my fingers for you too!

@jakesmomma15, how are things?!

@rennysmommy, it's been going good. I have been bouncing on it since yesterday.. I think it's helping. every time I stand up when I'm done I feel a lot of pressure down there.

How exciting, Keep me updated!

I will! @rennysmommy how long did it take for you to start feeling results?

Only like 3 days @jakesmomma15. I think the thing that really did it though was that I bounced while I was having contractions
