Operation 'Get Baby Out!'

This weekend I decided is the start of Operation Get Baby Out! I am 39 weeks tomorrow and on Monday will be talking about induction with my doctor but I really want to labor naturally. I have been trying home induction techniques for a few weeks but never been too serious about them. This weekend I am cracking down!! This whole week I've been feeling super tired, had loose bm, nausea (sp lol) and bh contractions. They keep getting me excited but never stay consistant!! Sooo... We shall see how this goes.

10am - Orgasm... Had a few contractions after but again nothing painful or consistant
10:30 - Birthing ball... Bounced for a half hour. Feeling some more pelvic pressure so hoping it helped to move the baby down a little
11am - Accupressure... Youtubed videos and tried some pressure points. Had a few more contractions
11:30 - Nipple stimulation... Did it for about 45mins then I got tired of it + I've heard for an hour 3xs a day so figured 45mins was close enough! Nothing

Just took a nap bc I am still super tired and have heard relaxing can help as well but now it's back to trying! Heading to Subway to get a buffalo chicken sandwich with extraaa oregano... I've heard both spicy food and oregano may help!! Will continue to update :D

    grab some pineapple on the way home rest for a little while then take a nice long walk at the park over mildly hilly terrain if possible come home and party dance to some music and keep those hips wiggling

    Thank you!! It is waay to hot right now to go for a walk so I'm going to wait til later to do that butttt good news!! I went to the bathroom after writing this and lost some of my mucus plug and have had a few more contractions :D

    @cfa I was in bed still so figured that was a perfect way to start my morning/operation ;) hehehe it gave me contractions too so I plan on trying that one again def!!

    Question like tmi!!! Was your plug tainted with blood? Or just whitish I think I'm losing parts of it but it looks like goo or thick slime and its white/clear sorry for the tmi!! Oh and I tried the orgasm too was able to get some contractions :) then they stoped hmm ill try Acupressure :)

    Update!

    I got off here and did some belly dancing haha I went on 'On Demand' and did some of their moves in hopes that the moving of my hips opened them up a little! Plus they roll a lot so I substituted for pelvic tilts ;) Then it was another orgasm, back on the ball for a half hour, followed by an hour of nipple stimulation and accupressure!! My contractions have gotten stronger but still nothing close to regular yet. Bf is still at work but sex as soon as he gets home!! EPO pills this evening as well. I planned on walking but bf said I shouldn't since I'm still on partial bed rest and was told not to go on long walks. Food shopping tomorrow though so I'll get my walking in then!

    So far I am not in labor but my contractions have come a little more often and a little stronger so maybe day two will be better!! :)

    @FiirstTiimeMommy2b No blood in it, just gooey and clear whitish! Hoping for my bloody show soon though lol my dr said to call once that happens!! My contractions also stopped a little after orgasm but I'm going to keep trying til they stay haha and same thing after accupressure so I would definitely suggest it :D

    @2ndbutfirst Well I hope you feel better and wish you luck!! :)

    @garagebandfan Still getting contractions! They seem to come in waves though. I'll get them for a little while and then they'll go away and then they'll come back a little later. This is the most and strongest I've had but stilllll nothing consistant :( Bf came home and we had sex. Now just EPO when I go to bed and then round two tomorrow!!

    @stella No, I wish I would have last Monday! If I don't go into labor maybe she'll do it this Monday and it will be the perfect end to my weekend :D I don't want to be induced!!
  • mommimishamommimisha

  • stbmilitarybratstbmilitarybrat
    @mishat07 If nothing works today, tomorrow is crack down time! Hahah labor cake and possiblyyyy castor oil (still don't know if I am willing to go that far though lol)! I am curious about texasmomma's experience with another tea too so we'll see!! :D

    So today starts Day 2!! Had some contractions throughout the night and still getting them. Time to eat then starting all over again since something yesterday seemed to work :) Will keep updating!!

    Have you tried squats? My back was killing me the other day so I leaned against the wall did some squats and got some contractions. I stopped cause I was only 35 weeks. This weeks is week 36 for me so next week I'm giving him his eviction notice hahah. Good luck and lots of labor dust.

    Is anything working for you? I wanna jump on the band wagon...

    Well today has not been so great. Still having contractions but still nothing consistant. My plans are put on hold though... Why?! Cause my bf threw a shit fit while I was bouncing on my ball. Why?! Cause there are UFC fights on tonight. Yupp. Flipped shit cause I am trying to induce labor when I know he wants to watch the fights. Oh, and I can't tomorrow either cause the Steelers are on. I told him he can stay home and I'll do it by myself if that's how he wants to act. So to avoid his wrath, my operation is currently on hold. He's just the best!!! Oh, and I was supposed to deliever in PA where alllll of my family and friends are but then decided him definitely being there was more important. So my family does nothing but genuinely cry because they can't be here to support/help me. And my mom's plan ticket to fly down when I call her and say I'm in labor is $600. So glad I decided to stay and that his fights/football are the priority. Wah, end vent. :((

    What an ass. He's in for a rude awakening if he keeps that attitude up.
  • stbmilitarybratstbmilitarybrat
    Thank you!! What's hilarious is that he had nooooo problem helping me last night by having sex!! Ugh, I seriously dislike the opposite sex sometimes. I'm going to go into labor tonight and just be crying hysterically the entire time cause he'll be furious with me... I know it!!
  • billysgirlybillysgirly
    @stbmilitarybrat oh man I can't believe how guys are! I'm sorry... But if you do go this weekend he can't blame you...
  • tinka1326tinka1326
    He will learn pretty fast after bubs is born that unfortunately baby takes priority so watching his crap on tv will have to wait when baby is screaming needing something....
  • texasmommatexasmomma
    Well so far no luck on the tea :-( I have taken 3 cups today and only have had a few contractions but nothing steady. I also had sex this morning and not even one contraction from that. Sat in the tub and did nipple stimulation and once I stopped contractions stopped. Did squats and had a few but like the nipple stimulation they stopped when I stopped. I have walked and also tried labor cake. Nothing seems to work. I don't dare doing castor oil with the risks of baby having a bowl movement or even me during labor lol
  • stbmilitarybratstbmilitarybrat
    Well, the weekend is officially over and my plans failed lol I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning so now I'm just hoping that I have atleast progressed a little! Thank you everyone! I will continue trying to self induce this week bc I don't want to be medically induced AT ALL!!! I will update if anything works :)

    @texasmomma Thank you for sharing!! I'm sorry it didn't work for ya :( I'm scared to do castor oil too so I'm just going to continue with the things I've tried and hope one of these times the contractions stay!!
  • newmomma13newmomma13
    For the acupressure where are you doing it at
  • stbmilitarybratstbmilitarybrat
    @newmomma13 I did it three fingers length above ankle bone, right behind ankle bone, and inbetween thumb and pointer finger! They are on youtube so you can see exactly where! :)
