I'll be 38 weeks on Wednesday. My doctor wants to induce me at 39 weeks if I don't give labor by then. He says that being induced reduces the chances of having a c section. Mmmm that doesn't sound too right to me. I thought it was the opposite?
In the meantime, I'm 2cm dilated and I want to go to labor on my own 😩 please give me ideas to make my body dilate more!
@torystewart94, I'm going to try the squats. All I've done is walk a whole lot and have a lot of sex. Lol but I'm still stuck st 2 😩 I truly don't want to be induced. I want to go into labor on my own :(
@juliannap, omg!! We are due date twins lol!! I’m still pregnant so no luck really lol. Today I walked up and down some stairs & did some squats.. I have an appointment on Wednesday hopefully I’ve dilated!! I’m gonna try that pineapple juice this pregnancy as well!
@torystewart94, how crazy, my due date is also march 14th! Haha wow. How are you progressing so far?
@juliannap, I was induced at 39 weeks. She was born less than 10 hours later. But when I went in I was already dilated to a 3 & 80% effaced. My midwife ended up breaking my water by accident when she was checking for dilation. 🙊 My daughter was born 5 lbs 10.5 oz healthy as a horse.
@theinkedmommy,
That's also why I was induced with my
Son. He was measuring behind, only 5 lbs and I had IUGR. But this time around everything's been better.. I'll see what he says at my next appt. thanks!
I'm reading online and it says that it's better to be induced at 39 weeks rather than at 40 🤦♀️🤔
I’ll be 38 Weeks on Wednesday too!!! When is your due date? Mines is March 14th.. drink some 100% pineapple juice!! That juice started contractions when I was pregnant with my son.
That’s when it feels like it’s never going to happen. It feels like your going to be pregnant forever. The Taco Bell and buffalo chicken pizza and pineapple core really helped me
@theinkedmommy, I'm sorry, I meant that he said it decreases the chance of a c section. I knew he wasn't right. I was also induced with my first son but that caused me to be in labor for 36 hours :/. Why were you induced? He really has no reason to induce me. It's just "because"
@juliannap Yes try squats!! i dont want to get induced again either, it sucks!! good luck to us both.
