My induction is scheduled Monday. I'm trying to help the process so the induction is not too long. I've eaten mango (since I'm allergic to pineapple), have been going up and down stairs, I'll be testing my breast pump to check the guard sizes, and now I'm having red raspberry leaf tea.... anything I'm missing besides seducing my husband (that's coming 😁)
I didn't know I'd need to be induced (when I was at least) but I guess I got preeclampsia in my last week of pregnancy, and once Madi didn't fully pass her biophysical profile scan at 40 + 1, my BP was high, then got an NST at hospital and it just kept climbing! got induced that night, I only had to have cervadil to kickstart labor (no pitocin, yay!)
I ate pineapple, drank a cup or two of the tea per day, lots of water, bounced/ hip cirlces on an exercise ball for 20 min at a time, had sex, walked stairs, nipple stimulation (although it takes a lot to actually help,) and ate spicy food. nothing is actually "proven" besides the prostaglandins in semen softening cervix, so make sure to have sex! try to get as much sleep and rest/downtime as you can....u won't have much of it soon!
And when you go up the stairs, try and skip steps. Who knows if any of this really works, but worth a shot 😊
induction???
So they want to talk about induction at my next appointment. I'll be 40w2d. So I'm not early. What are some of your experiences with induction. How do they do it? Will it raise my chances if having to have a c-section. I don't want a c-section. If anyone can give me some info or advice. That would be great.

Ladies I'm getting so confused my doctors says I'm having a girl .... But everybody else saying it looks like a boy so I'm wondering 😪 it your having a girl would it look like this ?
Have to be at the hospital by 8 tonight to start the induction process, can't wait to have you in my arms baby!💙

I'm such a sucker for these!! Unfortunately I'm rocking the baby to sleep and I have no clue what color my underwear is. I'll have to get back to ya'll!!
induction
I'm being induced right now!! I already got the first dose of cytotec placed inside me. I currently have back pain and I'm starting to get nervous!!
Ohh that is good to know. I hope I get something like that. My midwife is thinking the process could be long but it's a different process for everyone!
