Water Zumba followed by Chinese food, and of course trying sex every time I'm physically up to it and hubby is home. Really felt the contractions today! I'm ready to try every old wives tale in every book, within reason, to go into labor this week! (Except castor oil. Seriously guys, even if it worked, labor is difficult enough. I don't want to add diarrhea and stomach ache to the list!) Anybody have suggestions on exercises I can do at home to help baby Jacob into position and get my labor going?
I went 41 weeks with my first, and was still not having any type of contractions I was only dilated to a 1 and decided to be induced. I want to avoid induction this time though, and going over 40 weeks. lol. don't think both those are possible to avoid though. lol. thank you for the tips I will try them! :)@hfaithw
@smiles2, My next appointment is Wednesday too! I was a 1 on Friday, and because of the holiday I'll have an early appointment on Wednesday. I went from 1 to 4 in a matter of hours with my son though, so I would not be surprised if I went into labor any day! You should try doing some movement (or if you have your own pool, some happy couple time) in water if you can. The pressure comes off and suddenly I feel almost normal again. Almost. Lol It's wonderful! (Warning though, you'll feel all amazing but then when you leave the pool the pressure comes crashing back down, so take it slow. Lol Or don't and maybe it will induce labor. 😂)
Omg same here girl. this boy is coming out sooner than later. I don't wanna go a day over 40 weeks. haha. I'm trying everything also, sex is hard cause I just don't have the drive and it's awkwardly uncomfortable but I will do it when I can, and the Castrol oil is a no go for me also. good luck to you! my boy hasn't even dropped yet. my next app is Wednesday and I'm excited to see if I have mad any progress. lol.
Could always go get checked by the Drs at l&d that's what I did I thought I was leaking amniotic fluid and I went got checked and was 4 centimeters dilated and actually started having major contractions while there and they decided since I was having another c section I needed to go ahead and have her that night because my dr didn't want my water to break or dilate anymore since I was having a repeat c section so he chose to go for it June 4th and she was a healthy 6 pounds 2.4 ounces 18 inches long and no issues at all
