I'm 33 weeks today. As soon as I hit 36 weeks I'm going to try to induce myself. I feel like I'm not going to make it to oct 31st. I tossed and turn all night from being uncomfortable. I don't want to do anything that puts isaiah in danger.

    Thanks @michaela

    Your welcome. I want to know too! Haha. I am drinking 1 cup of rasberry leaf tea a day which won't induce its just to help contractions focus on your cerix and make you dilate faster when labor does start. I was also going to ake evening primrose oil start tomorrow. 1 gelcap orally and 1 vaginally which is sopossed to make you start efacing. And neither one of those will harm our babies.

    @Michaela those are both good but you should drink 3 cups of red raspberry tea a day and take 2 primrose oils orally and 3 vaginally before you go to bed. It'll have more effect that way! :)

    I would get a exercise ball and bounce and sway your hips on it for 15 to 20 minutes a day. It helps baby drop into position. Also if you're able to, squats and lunges help you dilate and baby drop down also. Walking will also help you out during labor.

    I'm 36 weeks! & I'm doing the nipple stimulation & sex! I had some strongish contractions after I did the stimulation after sex but that was yesterday & nothing today... :(
    I've got type2 diabetes & high BP. Ill get induced at 39wks if she's not here sooner.

    That's suck. lots of labor dust your way @one5one. I've had a pretty good pregnancy up until now. My whole body is so achy . I wake up feeling like I got hit by a bus. Def going to try that.

    @bentleysmommy thank I will increase the tea and I. Am going to start taking the epo tomorrow.
    @stephforever89 I will be 34 weeks tomorrow and btw the tea tastes really good I just have to watch out for heartburn.

    @Michaela the tea was solo sour to me! Lol. But I liked it.

    @bentleysmommy I put a little bit of honey in mine and I think that helps. But yeah I have a yoga ball too and it helps with pressure when I am not feeling up for going on a walk.

    @one5one what exactly do you do when doing nipple stimulation? I've heard you have to massage the areola as well as the nipple.

    I've been taking 1 epo capsule orally and inserting 2 vaginally since 35 weeks and yesterday I started bouncing on the ball. I'm 36+3.

    Achy sucks! I've got sciatic pain. Restless leg. Not to mention my BP is getting high & so are my sugars. Its quite annoying. Otherwise I don't mind baby in there for more time. But my body is falling apart seems like. I wanna be me again! Lol.

    @loveourlittleone I just rubbed them which felt odd. I know your supposed to tug them lightly as if a babys eating. I heard a pump works too! Don't have one yet though.

    @loveourlittleone yeah I used a pump when I did it.
