Pregnant after 35

40 weeks today

Well, I've mostly been quiet this third trimester. Not much to report other than waiting but I've been sort of miserable. I am 40 weeks today and hope I don't have to wait too much longer. No signs that I'll go soon. But given that this is my first I don't really know what to look for other than painful contractions as a sure sign. Induction has been scheduled for Thursday. I'm hoping he will decide to come naturally before then. Please send your labor vibes my way.

Re: 40 weeks today

  • Congrats on making it the full 40 weeks!

    Labor dust coming your way! 

    I don't know if there's anything to it, but you can try some of the old wive's tales about how to get labor going - sex, spicy food, etc. and there's some trigger points on your ankles, you'd have to google to find the right spot. 

    I hope everything goes smoothly!

  • I had my acupuncturist do the labor trigger points and went into labor within 48 hours, a week early. A massage therapist can do it too, or you can Google it and have YH do it. Never hurts to try! Good luck!
