@amandafikes, that's what I read an you have to like eat the core as well... I'm due next Saturday an I just wanna have her cause my dr might induce me. So I'm trying everything possible now to kick start it an make it process faster but idk how😭
@ang20, if your doctor will let you try to go as long as you can without being induced. Sometimes our bodies aren't ready. Sometimes baby isn't ready. My OB told me last week, at 34 weeks pregnant, he would let me have the baby if I went into labor. He then told me there is no way I'm going past 38 weeks because he will induce me before he goes on vacation. I'd rather have a doctor on call deliver my baby just so I can go full term.
@amandafikes, I have gd an my dr doesn't want baby to get to big or have any complications. That's why I'm trying to have her naturally before he decides if he wants to induce me or atleast try to help speed things up.
@ang20, gestational diabetes makes a huge difference - my sister had it with her last one and they had to induce her because the baby was getting to big. She was seven weeks early and weighed almost eight pounds.
@amandafikes, ya she weighed around 6lbs at 36 weeks that's why I'm trying to help speed it up cause idw be induced I'd rather try to go naturally before they induce
@ang20, I'm trying to think back to my stubborn one to see how I got him out. Lol. I did the ball, squats, Chinese food, tons of walking (about four miles), cleaned the floors on my hands and knees (something about having baby hang forward helps them move down the canal faster), I'm sure there was more. I feel like I tried so much more. My stubborn one will be 14 in July so kind of hard to remember back then.
Evening primrose oil for me! I ate like 3 a day and took one or two caps in the vag each day.. At around 36 weeks. at 37 I was 0cm 50% effaced. Then 38 I was 2cm 50% effaced.. Then 38 6 days I was 3cm 80% effaced. I'm getting induced on Tuesday though! I have been in prodromal labor for days. Contractions will come in clusters and go away! I'm exhausted
