@prettynpregnant, yeah I've had it rough from the beginning of my pregnancy it's not as horrible now, but it's something I don't like. Yes it's a "short time" but when you have to be very picky with what you eat and when you eat, it gets tough. When your body starts getting infections, rashes, and other stuff you've never experienced before it feels like forever. When your temperament changes and your relationship starts to strain a little it scares you. So yes I completely understand why some women would like to speed the process up (after getting a green light). I love my baby but I want my body to function the way I'm used to. I miss sleep or even if I didn't get enough sleep, I was still able to function without passing out in the middle of the day. I may sound selfish but I have went through and sacrificed a lot for my little princess. And I will continue to after she's born but my body and mind needs to get back to its original state for my sanity. I've been miserable and pregnant and would like to get back to reality.

lots of sex, semen contains prostaglandins which contract the uterus

@keniamarjorie, word !! Not judging you @prettynpregnant but I'm praying I can make it that far. And this pregnancy has been by far the most painful uncomfortable experience ever but I'll put up with it just to make sure my baby has no NICU time. I'm at risk for preterm labor and already had 2 scares. But To each their own though. Wish you the best of luck

@elainaelise, you so understand 😃. I wanted to start trying next week but I wanted to get ideas then research to make sure it won't harm me or my baby

I understand.. Only thing I always recommend is to walk a lot and do a lot of stairs. But besides thing, sometimes people take it too far with castor oil and what not 😣

@keniamarjorie, because everyone bodies are different and people have different pain, discomfort, and tolerance levels. Most doctors by this time even say it's ok to try safe ways to speed the process up. If a baby comes naturally at this time s/he will be fine. And if someone asks for a way to do something they don't want to be told, do nothing or just wait it out.

Really okay I've been eating spicy food thru the whole pregnancy I didn't know that could help. thank you @caydynsmommy22

They also say hot bath or shower and spicy food

@keniamarjorie, your right! I've lost children due to a week cervix but I'm having a lot of health problems and since it's considered FULL TERM why not try

awesome thank you @babes101116

Primrose oil

Lol why not? So many of us wish we could make it to at least 38 weeks!

Keep moving! Mop, vacuum, go up and down the stairs, squats, sex
