So I got sent home yesterday due to no changes so now what? I've been bouncing on a excise ball for 2 hours. I'm gonna go for a walk around the block twice. I ate a whole pineapple today. So now I'm thinking of more ways to get labor started. I'm gonna try the breast pump. I've read online nipple stimulation brings on contractions so we'll try that.
@maesmommy04 my youngest I had a lot of sex and walked everyday. The last walk I went, I think it did the trick
The night before my daughter was born I was playing with peppermint oil (the woman who ended up being my delivery nurse had an essential oils part and we were making bug repellent) I went into labor and was sent home at 4am. By 9:30 am my water broke. My daughter was born at 2:55pm. Imma try the peppermint oil again with this one once I hit 39 weeks and see if it's consistent lol
@whoa_itsz_steph keep track mama you can be having serious contractions 😊 it hard for me track them cause it's confusing
@ashley1994 I had a lot of sex and walked with my last and worked. I was induced with my other 2 kids
@amelia.22 when I get a contraction, it hurts to the point where I don't want my man touching me when he tries comforting me
@amelia.22 I'm walking rn. Then when I get back home, I'ma try the ball and nipple thing
I'm trying everything too. I'm at 2cm I just got home from walking at the mall (3floor) , tried sex now I'm gonna bounce on the ball and do nipple simulation too
@chelli I think the ball helped some. Now I'm trying to figure out how to spend things up but I'll definitely try that
@chelli I'm having contractions but not close enough together but also painful.
@mommy_of_two_girls lol I've tried pineapples, walking, primrose oil, cinnamon tea, I'm trying the birth ball and see if that helps b
All you're doing with bouncing on the ball is possibly making the baby's head swell.. try figure 8s instead.
