I'm getting induced at 39 weeks, any tips on how to rippen my cervix? I really dont want that balloon in, i think the…

@7littlegems I Had a c-section with my first and bled out on my second after trying a v-bac.. I didn't feel like i was able to bond with either of my children because of how much trouble I had during and after labour, i was going to try a normal delivery again but now I've got spd and varicose veins in my vulvar its terrified me more. I can barely walk now never mind possibly going over so it's a number of things really xx

@michaelahobbs44, can I ask what the reason for being induced is x

@7littlegems i reallly hope so, I personally think she was trying to get me to opt to go naturally. I'm hoping at 39 weeks my cervix will have thinned xx

@michaelahobbs44, it says in mine about raspberrie leaf tea , hopefully with this being ur third it cervix’s will be low and maybe even dilated too xx

This is mine..

@7littlegems yes but it doesn't say anything about how to try and ripen your cervix leading up to it.. xx

Have u not been given one of these? X

@michaelahobbs44, they don’t use the ballon thing at my hospital I didn’t really think it’s used that much x

I have been induced twice and will be again at 39 weeks one was 39 week but they popped my waters one was 38 weeks and took 4 days of pessaries hoping when I go in at 39 weeks this time again they can pop my waters x

@michaelahobbs44, I know I think I’d be scared if they said I was having that haha xx

@courtniek98x me niether..... sounds painful! @chesscalouise2 will do thank you x well cross fingers i go before xx

Ignore that picture, I dont even know how i did it 😂

Have a read about evening primrose oil @michaelahobbs44

@michaelahobbs44, I’ve heard of it hun but I don’t know anyone who’s actually had it xx

@courtniek98x i think my consultant was trying to put me off the idea of having an induction...

Have you heard of a catheter being used an then balloon? Xx

I had the pessary at 37 weeks x

I had 2 pessaries at 37 weeks hun I got to 3cm then they broke my waters xx
