  • Hopefully the baby wants to come out. Im 39 wks and last time I was checked I still hadn't dilated. Hopefully the dr will agree to induce me this Wednesday ....but good luck!
  • Hopefully you will have some luck! Walking helped my labor progress but it wasn't what started labor for me. Good luck :)
  • LEg squats n sex! I did that alot w my 1st born. Alot alot of leg squats
  • LEg squats n sex! I did that alot w my 1st born. Alot alot of leg squats
  • @kayleigh27 i was dialated almost 2 cm the 4th.. and his head was positioned -3.. she said to go ahead and schedule another appt. but didnt think id make it that far surprise surprise still no baby lol and i go back the 4th..

    @Val what kind of leg squats like how do you do them..

  • Lol yeah I have with my 1st. I walked abt 45 mins til i couldnt walk anymore. I heard sex helps too ;p
  • Well w/ my 1st I walked awhole lot. But I think wat really triggered my labor was I jumped off a couple of small stairs a couple of times. Nd b4 I knew it I was in labor lol my neighbor was a nurse she said jus jump off the stairs nd ull go into labor man she wasn't lying lol I had my son a day b4 my due date. I was only in labor for 4hrs. No meds! Hurt like hell. Today is my sons 4th bday !! (=
  • Yeah when I went to my dr on a wed he told me the same so I walked the dog for 45 min & did laundry (i have to carry it up & down the stairs of my apt to the laundry mat) went into labor the next morning 4-21
  • I don't think walking works. Well it didn't for me. But yes squats and stairs.
  • You poor thing you're trying everything! Hopefully you find something that works for you. I would be scared to jump off any number of stairs @princessb
  • @hiannaaa yeah my ankle gave out twice durring my three mile walk yesterday so ill b ataying away from stair jumping lol sounds aweful dangerous.
  • Lol yeah I went to the Dr was 4cm she told me go walk so we went and walked round Walmart for a bit went home sat down and ate think I went into labor bout a hour later
  • @jessm22 I was only 2 cm wen I went today and 50 percent effaced.
  • @hiannaaa lol they weren't big! Small stairs. Not huge jumps small ones. Well every1 is different got me to go into labor . Only for 4hrs no meds. Lol but walking is a plus swimming is too (=
  • @princessb Id love to go swimming..
  • You could just walk up and down stairs, no jumping needed, you could also do sits and rolls on an exercise ball
  • My mom washed the walls in her house to go into labour with me and my sister. Got her little step stool and a bucket and washed from top to bottom and it worked both times. She swears the stairs plus the squatting helps
  • @princessb actually I was thinking about you today and started hopping down a hill hahaha because it seemed safer and now it feels like I'm in labor! I'm trying to figure out if I should go to the hospital right now. I was ready to call an ambulance half an hour ago but now I actually think I'm okay hahah.
  • I belive in it :D I spent my whole day walking when I was 41 +4weeks up and down hills, even walked on the spot brushing my teeth, went into labor that night.
  • @hiannaaa lol see hoping alittle works too!! When I turn 36wks ima jump on some little stairs again.
    @huneybee yeah I love to swim!
  • @princessb after I finish cleaning I'll be as ready as I'll ever be to have her so I'm going to finish up this house and then hop around the neighborhood LOLOLOL I can see it now... luckily it'll be dark by the time im done.
  • @hiannaaa lmao lookin like a bunny rabbit! Ur neighbors gunna b like wth is she doin lol
  • @princessb lol they'll probably call the cops because they'd think terrible was a drunk pregnant lady on the loose and they're concerned for the safety of their families. They can't tell if I'm rabid.
  • haha u guys are ridiculous ima try that hopping thing..mabe ill do it out back behind my house tho to avoid the embarressment.
  • @hiannaaa lol hahaha I hope they don't! The police gunna come nd ask ma'am wat r u doing?? Oh I'm just trying to get my labor started lol
    @huneybee lol that would work !
