So I’ll be 38 weeks Monday I am going to try pumping to start my labor am I wrong for trying to go into labor early??!!! My doctor told me to start doing things so I can dilate but I am kinda nervous I don’t want baby’s health to be affected my entire pregnancy I’ve had blood pressure issues and my doctor is inducing me on the 25th anyway is it safe?
@mvbreaux, I’m nervous now so many different answers lol
@briatta, I was induced at 39+1 with my first because of consist high blood pressure (hospitalized the week before that also due to blood pressure and fluid levels).
If you can safely get things moving and get baby to put you into labor on your own I’d go for it. Just make sure you do some research on what’s the safest way to go about this!
@briatta well that's a different story.
Thanks ladies I think my doctor really doesn’t want to induce me but my blood pressure has been so crazy
40 reasons to go the full 40 www.gothefull40.com
Babies need 40 weeks if at all possible. I would wait.
I was induced the day I turned 37 weeks due to being high risk and my baby boy came out perfectly healthy
I wondered this too but i was talked out of it because I was told it can start painful contractions but u may still not dilate....that was enough for me
You will get different answers on this post but 37 weeks is full term and yesterday my midwife told me I could start trying things to induce. Honestly, no matter what you try (besides castor oil - I think is completely dangerous) baby will come whenever baby comes. I think it’s funny we all try different things (including myself and countless research) but when it comes down to it I don’t think it’s really us getting baby to come, ya know?
I had my baby at 38 weeks, my water broke. I didn't try to induce myself but we did have a lot of sex but my point is my daughter was perfectly healthy! She's 5 now and never had any issues 😊👍🏼
Please help!
My doctor is trying to induce me before 40 weeks because she's going to be off on my due date and says my placenta is starting to look old. How do I get labor started?? I don't want to be induced for no reason and I'm thinking I won't have a choice. Please help. What do I do to get things going?
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...
Should I let my x know when labor starts

It’s baby month! Doctor gave me the go ahead to start trying to induce labor naturally so what worked for y’all ?!
Anyone try to use Raspberry leaf tea to try and naturally induce labor at home? If so did it work for you? Pineapple threw me into labor with my son and I'm gonna do that this time around too. But I keep hearing about the tea and picked some up to try and help me out.
***No negative comments on how far along I am, Drs assured me that it's perfectly safe for me and the baby to start trying to induce labor at home starting now.
Induced at 37 & 38 weeks - No issues . medical reasons of course.
