Pregnancy: Third Trimester Community
You're in the home stretch! For weeks 28 through 40-plus, we are talking ... more
With my first two pregnancys I didn't want to wait to be induced either so a week before my DD we were trying all sorts of stuff and it must have worked for me as both my first 2 DD's were born on their due dates maybe try some of these to see if it gets things moving ... Walking , sex and nipple stimulation ( it makes you release your own form of pitocin ) and also sitting on a birthing ball helps too . Hope something works for you and you get to meet your LO soon ..don't be too disappointed tho if you do need to be induced some women just don't progress on their own and need a jump start .HTH
1- Baby WILL come out. NOBODY stays pregnant forever.
2- EDD's are only estimates. Did you know that the actual gestational time frame is closer to 41 weeks than 40? In that school of thought you're only 2 days past due! Well, four now, I suppose, but still.
3- Some babies really do need a little more time
Schedule your induction for 42 weeks if you feel up to it. Sometimes giving baby an "eviction notice" is enough to get them out
((HUGS)) mama, you're doing great!
