I had both of my other beautiful children at 37 weeks (DS- 37 w 2 days, DD- 37 w 1 day). I am 37 w exactly today, and after a 36 week growth ultrasound where she is measuring 39 w 4 days last week, and the doctor talking about we want this to happen as fast as possible... I am getting so anxious! The Hospital wont let them induce until 39 weeks (at which point my doctor is concerned she will be too big for a vaginal birth!)...
Anyone have any ideas for legit ways to help make some progress? (I was 2-3cm at 36 w 2 days). I know as a mom of 2 I should know this, but I don't my water broke both times previously and I had to be induced.
Re: Slowly going crazy...
I have to be honest, sex... sounds so undesirable right now (and when my husband heard me say the words mucus plug... I think he opted out of that help too)... and Nipple stimulation, I have read has to be done for a long time every hour to do much...
Have sex
Have patience...
I'd avoid nipple stimulation. That can get you in over your head quick with pain levels.
Honestly? Baby will come when they are ready and the closer to 40 weeks the better. Bounce on your medicine ball and eat some eggplant Parmesan. Good luck!
