I know what to look for lol and my next appointment is not until the 19th 2 days before my due date....

I don't. there's so much wiggle room for error and risk of infection....plus it's pretty hard to reach anything at that point hahaha

This is my first child and Im ready for her to come out the pain is so bad. I've tried just about everything so far except for sex and walking for a while. I also haven't been checked to see if I was dilated in about 3 weeks so I wanted to check myself and see if I am or not. have any of you done that before? checked yourself to see if you dilated any? @cjones @showersoverflowers @sabby @taytay88

I walked every day at least 1 mile some times 3 if it was cool enough out. I just did it to be healthy. I think it helped with recovery more than anything. I'm only 5 days out and do not have half as many pains and cramps as I did the first time around. I also never got constipated which if you have given birth before you know how big of a deal that is

I think walking and sex helped me. I even used a vibrator the night before my 39 week appointment. went to my appointment and she was like you're 4 cm and she did the membrane sweep. not even 30 minutes later I was having contractions.

Not to burst your bubble ...but i literally walked soooo much, power walked with my mom ALOT ! And it did nothing for me to put me in labor (I was induced 😕)....but!! I had an easy easy delivery and I swear it's bc I walked ! 2 pushes she was out! No rip or tear! Good luck momma you got this ❤️
