Tips to keep my labor progressing?? I am in labor now but decided to labor at home for a little to try and see if I could do it naturally what do you moms suggest? No castor oil or weird things I won't try them. Please help!!!!
Please help! My doctor is trying to induce me before 40 weeks because she's going to be off on my due date and says my placenta is starting to look old. How do I get labor started?? I don't want to be induced for no reason and I'm thinking I won't have a choice. Please help. What do I do to get things going?
I'm in labor Guys, I've been in labor I guess since 9pm Sunday. .that I know.

Why do women try so hard to induce labor? No judgements, I just am curious because I see so many women trying to induce so bad. Whether its 37 weeks or 40w1d, everyone is ready for their baby before baby is ready. Can anyone shed some light?
Why oh why do some woman try to induce labor at 37 weeks??? You're not even full term yet....ugh, just gets to me. 😕

Might sound weird but look up nipple stimulation to induce labor! It releases oxytocin which is what causes labor (:

When are they planning on admitting you?

@tiffany_sanft, thank you! I know it's been super hard but with whatever is happening and having to go in and out is just not helping. On a side note I went from a 3 to a 4 to that's a plus

@Inkedmamaof4, I think I need to walk some stairs for sure! Haven't done that one. I have my own labor ball and I've been using it but it's helped a bit

walk some stairs, walk, bounce on an exercise ball.

I can understand that. It's much easier said than done, to relax. But, if you get worked up, it makes it more difficult 😕 you'll do great! Don't worry, mama.

@tiffany_sanft, if I could sleep and rest I would honestly have done that instead of asking for tips but I am so miserable I'm actually on my way back to the hospital. I'm just scared of being in labor and not progressing

Honestly, rest as much as you can. You won't want to wear yourself out keeping labor up before you actually hit full blown labor.
