Trying to stay pregnant for the full 40 weeks

[Deleted User] · January 2015

This may sound like a silly question but I would really like any advice on how to keep pregnant till the full 40 weeks is up.. im 38 weeks now but really want my LO & I to last the last 2 weeks. (Im going to really miss being pregers) I know its not up to me but if i can help it i will try..(i also reeeally want an Aquarius baby like her dad) so far i can only think of holding off on all things that people use to try and enduce labour i.e sex and epo and all that jazz..

Could my daily walking and swimming be helping to kick start labour or may it be helping to keep her in there?
It is a hard one to really have answers to and ive tried to research it so no hating please. I cant find much information. Possibly because there is none

I know.. baby will come when shes ready. Shes still very active so she could be enjoying her last few weeks before her great descent into the big wide world (wish full thinking)

Anyway Goodluck January mums

There is literally nothing you can do. Even bed rest & cerclages do very little to stop PTL. Maybe just avoid sex (cervical stimulation/prostaglandins might move things along) -- but that won't buy you 2 weeks. It'll happen when it happens, as you knoW.
