So... even though I'm still being termed as high risk, Doctor has changed her mind and has decided to induce time at 41 weeks rather than at 40 because everything is going well.
🙈Kinda disappointed that I might have to wait longer to see my little one but hopeful that I'll go into labour naturally. Anyone have any tried and tested methods to naturally induce labour that worked for them? I know baby won't come if baby isn't ready but I'd just like to give baby a hand and get the ball rolling if I can. So ready to.meet baby.
I am already using my birthing ball to bounce on and am also taking raspberry leaf tea once a day.
@riab1985 🙈 you poor thing! Will the doctor induce you or do you have to just wait it out?
I've done everything in the book. I'm still 40+4 weeks and waiting !!
Thanks for responding ladies. Appreciate it.
@gabilicious defo gonna try the pineapple in a week or so. Lol. Not the rest though. I'm in to much pain to even try🙈.
@missashleyanne ha ha. I did hear that nesting is a sign of impending labour. Sadly I'm not getting that instinct. Which would be useful right now since I'm moving house.
@chesscalouise2 never heard of this. Will have to look in up.
@babycakes88 🙈 I hope that's not my future.
Tried the lot and nothing worked was induced at 15days and she still didn't want to come out had to be pulled out in the end
I took evening primrose tablets my midwife told me too and they definitely helped xx @ttcrainbowbaby
I heard some fresh pineapple and sex is supposed to weaken your cervix also spicy foods and lots of walking xx
I'm being induced. Baby has no heartbeat. I am numb and just want to die.
Hey mums. I'm booked in to be induced on 2nd January as baby is measuring big. I've had a stretch and sweep to see if we can get labour going. Has anyone got any tips on how I can go into labour naturally as I'm a nervous wreck about being induced?
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?
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
Eeek went to the dr and I am almost a 1... never really dialated early with the other two... so I got a little excited. She said the baby is measuring at around 38 weeks 😱so when I go next week I am going to ask about inducing.
Had a sweep wed.... Been having signs since. And I think contractions have now started. I kept gym n acive til 38 weeks...primrose oil. ...pineapple....sex...Ball bouncing. ...walking. ...Hot food....sage oil stuff in Bath !! Baby will only come when ready xx
