Any ideas on how to get labor to start? I can't sleep at night I try to sleep during the day but doesn't work either I'm so uncomfortable no matter how I try to position my self to sleep. My feet are so swollen to the point that they hurt when I walk. I just want to see my baby boy already and want to be able to see my feet again😩 my doctor told me I wasn't dilated any but my cervix is softening and baby is head down.
walking helps. but honestly if your body isn't ready then nothing will truly put you into labor.
my water broke five days before my due date, and by then I was 2 cm and 70% effaced.. I would walk everyday (just to exercise anyway) , and I had sex but I don't know if any of those contributed , as well as drinking red raspberry leaf tea since i was 35 weeks I think.
I tried everything, nothing worked, they ended up inducing me to labor at 40 weeks 1 day!! don't believe everything you hear, let the time pass!
