I had to go to l&d last night. They checked my cervix and it’s STILL closed. Not even starting to efface 😭 I’m taking epo, bouncing on my ball, drinking red raspberry leaf tea.. what else can I do 😰 38w this Saturday. Feeling extremely discouraged 😓
@moniquerivera70 I know!! When she told me I was like NOPE not doing that😂 my poor 🍑 and mouth😂😂
@lorany, lmfao exclty after a couple slices my tongue starts feeling some type of way
@lex015, srry to butt in the convo but omg three pineapples my poor butthole would probably tear lol
I know😕 I'm right there with you with constant contractions I don't even bother going into L&D anymore bc I get sent home and it's really irritating when your in constant pain for weeks. You always have all of us mommas to be around when you feel like theres no one!
@lex015, oh wow, that’s a lot of pineapple. I’m not trying to kickstart labor, I’m just more upset I’m having contractions consistently and I’m getting 0 progress from them :( being in pain like this is just making me irritated and no one wants to be around me 😭
Walking should help even if its 10 mins a day help baby get into position😊 I also heard pinapple works but my ob tells me if you want to go that route it'd take about 3 pineapples a day to kick start labor
@lex015, oh yeah I know, only reason I’m drinking it is cause it reduces the chances of pp hemorrhaging and epo increases it. So hoping it evens out 🤞🏻🤞🏻 but epo is supposed to be helping to soften my cervix.. my ob told me to take 3 by mouth and 2 vaginally a day.. I’m just 😓
I had no dilation the day I was due. Baby came 4 days later. Dilation doesn't mean much and you can't really control it. Just try to enjoy the last few weeks of freedom! Lol
I read that tropical fruits help soften your cervix and so does sperm. I was a little overdue with my son so I ate chili flakes I ended up in labor that night lol I only talk ate some and walked for about an hours or so
Try going for walks walking always gets my contractions going as for the rasberry lead tea it isn't going to put you into labor it just helps tone your uterus walls so it'll help you out whenever baby decided she's ready🤞..I know you must be exhausted😥 I know I am so I can only imagine
@lorany, dilation doesn’t indicate labor is coming. I was 3cm for a month before I had my first. It can happen very fast too. One day it’ll be closed and the next you’ll be 2cm dilated. It’s really unpredictable
@thisisfeeney, yeah I know I just wish she would hurry up and be ready lol.. I want her to cook as long as she needs to but I thought by now I would be just a little dilated 😓
😆😆😆 I’ll rather wait those couple more weeks then torture myself
