Who's getting close?

Shemico · February 2011

How far along are you? What are you doing to prepare your body?

36 weeks and a bit here.

Sitting on the exercise ball every night. Starting my rasberry tea & evening primrose oil at 37 weeks, accupuncture at 38 weeks.

Lots of water and walking. Staying active, evening primrose oil orally for now and will start doing the internal doses in a few weeks. My cervix is so messed up from the cryo surgery that my OB agreed to let me start it sooner internally than others since I need all the help I can get. If it works, I am all for it. I'd like to have an exercise ball but this baby is so low now I am not sure if it will just irritate things.

I'm only 36w, so getting closer, but not quite close yet. I've actually been bad this pregnancy and haven't done any of the stuff I did with DS (yoga, exercising a lot) so that's getting me a little nervous. The only thing I have done is start RRL tea around 30w. Not sure what I want to do about EPO though, any thoughts on what you are planning on doing? This week I vow to sit on the birthing ball more, get on the treadmill and do more squats when picking up DS's toys!

I'm very close! Trying to do perineal massage, going regularly to the chiro, need to call the acupuncturist today to set up an appointment. What I REALLY need to get done is get my house in order. I feel like until that is done I won't feel 'ready' for this baby to arrive.

Getting close and doing pretty much all the things you ladies are doing.

It feels close but so far away.

38+ weeks here. I'm not doing much yet other than walking, chiro, and bouncing/stretching on the yoga ball. My OB recommended against EPO until 39 weeks because she said it is unknown if it can affect scar tissue from the c/s. I think I will forgo it altogether. She recommended I start nipple stimulation/pumping whenever I am comfortable doing it after 39 weeks. I think I am going to wait until 40 weeks though (my rcs deadline is 41w1d) before trying any alternative methods to kickstart labor. I'm just trying to be patient and faithful in my body.

I'll be 37 weeks on Thursday. I am currently on my exercise/birthing ball, and have been drinking a pregnancy tea (a mixture of raspberry tea leaf, nettles, and peppermint).
