Not me, 5w.6d left. I'd luv it if he came early, but not too early where he needs assistance. I'm winded easily, back n lungs ache. Sleep alludes me, and I'm constipated. FUN times!
I've been feeling some pressure down there too n my backs been hurtin a lil. But barely no bh contractions! Do you guys think its gonna b a while for me?
June 2 dd. Feel awful. Contractions cramping and pain in my back during all of that. Also 4 cm. Have tried walking sex spicy food massage and acupressure. The acupressure pt between my thumb and index finger has been very successful at getting contractions started
I have been having contractions that take my breathe away and burnt alot. My hips hurt like no other, it hurts to move. Oh and my pelvic bone it stretching, it hurts so bad. Im complaining alot. Sorry ladies
@mzarmstrong87 its actually acupressure instead of puncture. its a pressure pt. so u just apply a mix of pressure and massage. There are a few other labor inducing pressure pts but they were less successful for me. I just goggled pregnancy acupressure. Its the same concept as acupuncture but without needles.
@angelsmommy I refuse to have my labor induced unless my water leaks/breaks and labor doesn't begin. I was 3cm at 36 wks and before that it had been a few weeks since I had an appt. I must have started dilating a long time ago bc I have been having contractions since 33wks. I also have a 14 mo old so neither me or my dr are surprised that I am this far w/o actually starting labor. It just sucks bc I don't want to make any plans more than a few hours in advance since it really wont take long once it finally starts for real
Oh yeah I also tried the nipple stimulation one time and had a single very painful contraction and will not be doing that again. Its not usually recommended to induce this way w/o being monitored bc contractions like that can be dangerous for the baby bc they can lower their heart rate
In what to expect when your expecting, it says you'd have to do nipple stimulation for 3 hours a day to get true labor going, but it mostly just gives you painful bh/contractions.
@mzarmstrong87 the pt is located in the webbing between thumb and index finger. U should be able to press around until u find a place that the pressure is more noticeable. My husband actually did it while I relaxed. It took less than 5 min to notice some contracting. I have been pushing on it off and on all day
