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
I use an app to keep track of my contractions. It's better that way.
@amelia.22 are you using an app to keep track or writing it down
@whoa_itsz_steph keep track mama you can be having serious contractions 😊 it hard for me track them cause it's confusing
@amelia.22 probably 5-10 mins. I haven't been keep track really
@whoa_itsz_steph how far along are the contractions
@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
@whoa_itsz_steph Amen! I'm getting cramps hopefully it gets stronger
@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.
@chelli I'm gonna try it and see if it works
@chelli did you use a breast pump or your hands?
@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
@whoa_itsz_steph. I got sent home the other day also im 3cm ive tried everything lol .
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
All you're doing with bouncing on the ball is possibly making the baby's head swell.. try figure 8s instead.
