You guys I really don’t wanna get induced I want him to come natural. What can I do ??? Oh and I…

Advocate for yourself. Tell them do not induce you. You have up to 42 weeks

@roguemommyofjx3, I have to get induce before 40 weeks I’m high risk and I have GD

@selandriac oh man. Still advocate for youself. You can have them sweep your membranes, then do natural home things but its not recommended until full term.

Bounce on a ball closer to 39 weeks.

Membrane sweeps. (Then bounce and walk)

@shayybear, I’m 38 weeks coming Wednesday I’m technically full term when can I ask for my membrane to get sweep

@roguemommyofjx3, I’m full term already

Sex sex sex sex and more sex

@newlyironman, that’s uncomfortable 😣 VERY

@selandriac they changed it. 39 weeks is considered full term 37&38 weeks is early term.

@roguemommyofjx3, well at my doctor 37-40 weeks is full term Nd they tell me I’m full term so no offense I’m going to believe them

@blakeslatinmama, ok I started the ball last week so I’m hoping when I go to the doctor Wednesday something will happen

@selandriac it's safest to get as close to 40 as possible. If you're 38 soon then you can get one at the 38w appointment

@blakeslatinmama, thanks 🤞🏽

@shayybear, alright I’m going to ask them thanks does it hurt ?

@selandriac it may, but it is uncomfortable.

@selandriac okay that's cool. I'll send you a link that states otherwise. Whether you read it or not doesn't matter.

Also stimulating your breast will help. You gotta do like 20 minutes on and then 20 minutes off and keep going.

@roguemommyofjx3, I’ll try that

@shayybear, ok thanks

They can sweep your membranes now. I had mine done starting at 36 weeks.

I was also induced ( personal preference and schedule conflicts) and I had wonderful experience.

PM me if you want more info. I’m Medical Student and I made choices as to what should and shouldn’t be done. Even when getting induced hold off on epidural as long as you can. Epidural and pitocin work against each other. But once you are 4-5cm it won’t matter as much.

@patrycjalai, ok I will I only last until 5 cm anyway then epidural is my friend

@selandriac try and find a comfortable position, lots of lube
