in need of some advice

mommyjenn

Ok, so I'm 6 days away from my due date of April 4th and I'm getting so impatient. I've been having horrible nausea and back pain for a while now and it's getting to be unbearable. I have a doctors appointment on Thursday and I was thinking about asking about being induced over the weekend. I also saw some people talking about having the membranes stripped and I was curious as to what that was and what it does to help move things along, if anyone knows? I could really use some advice on what people think is best to do and what things have worked for others. Thanks

I was 2 weeks overdue and couldn't wait to meet my little one so one of my friends told me that drinking raspberry leaf tea makes labor come in faster...and it did work for me and my other friend who also was due same as me. u can also look up here on the categories to see what others wrote cuz this subject has been talked about a lot. great luck sweetie and wishing u the best!

Thanks @Allie8955 where can I get the tea from?

any store might have it...I got mines at walmart and Fredmeyer...but try to get more of an organic one. see if a grocery store has an organic isle and c if they got any raspberry tea there.

Have the doctor strip your membranes.... if you're at least 1cm. They just "rough" up the cervix basically with their fingers. Not fun, and it hurts some, but it can help.
