@amyrrah22, at my 38 week appointment my midwife told me to get a ball and the rasberry leaf tea..I drank 3 cups a day of that tea and bounced on the ball quiet frequently .she came at exactly 39 weeks..so I think those two were pretty effective
@amyrrah22, I didn't work, and had no other kids or anything else to do so I did it pretty much all day but a few minutes at a time. like while I watched tv instead of the couch,i bounced on the ball. anytime I had downtime I bounced on it. I didn't just easy bounce, but not too rough . while I was in active labor(3 min apart contractions) I was home alone and continued to bounce through my contractions. when I got to the hospital I was 5 cm at 845. She was born at 11:29
@blessedwithberetta, I guess I'll try it then I'll be 37 weeks on Thursday today at my dr appointment I was having contractions so bad that it made me throw up smh but she checked me and I was only 1cm dilated so disappointing
@amyrrah22, oh yeah, that's why I waited so long to go to the hospital cause I didn't want to be disappointed, I had my baby all natural no pain medicine or anything and staying home definitely helped because I wasn't discouraged

Did you do it for hours at a time or just a few minutes @blessedwithberetta
