I need advice!
Ok, so I am literally to the point where I want to do anything and everything to get this little one out. I didn't have my 38 week check up this week because my doctor was out of town, so I have no idea if I've dilated or progressed. Which sucks, because the anticipation is wearing on me! I feel like I have a whole month left to go! But I am praying that she will come this week..hopefully! But if anyone has advice on how to induce labor naturally, please let me know! I'm going nuts!!! And I think Heavenly Father is definitely making me learn patience right now! haha

Well, I've never experienced this, but Cory did a full semester on the labor/delivery floor of the hospital so my advice should be correct :)
ReplyDelete- physical activity. Walk around, lots of movement, strenuous activity.
- anything that will lower muscle threshold... calcium supplements will probably help.
- nipple stimulation (we're big girls - so there it is) :)
So there's a few, here's a website with a list of ideas & tips from more experienced people:

Good luck Brie!
Brie,
ReplyDeleteI've read about how hot/spicy foods can sometimes induce labor, as well as being romantic with your hubby, and walking. Hope the ideas help...sounds like your friend Jamie has a lot of good tips too!
Hey there friend I found your blog, hope it's alright! I saw my doctor yesterday and he told me the same thing your friend said. Spicy food, walks, fun with your husband, those kinds of things. I hate to say this, but I don't think those things work unless your baby is ready to come! We tried EVERYTHING short of castor oil with Alix since she was a week late but you never know, something might happen :)
ReplyDeletep.s. I love your blog, it is cute!
