    Add me to the "my god does pregnancy suck" club. But I still don't think it's worth trying to force labor to come sooner than it supposed to. IMO any doctor who would recommend that you start taking anything that could "induce" labor at 35 weeks is probably someone you shouldn't be listening to. If a doctor really thinks that you need to be in labor, they'll induce you medically.  

    Especially considering 35 weeks is the earliest that a baby *might* not need the NICU.
    I agree so much. I just had false labor tonight and it terrified me that I may deliver at 35 weeks. I want the world for my daughter, even if it causes me pain.

    But you don't understand! She's very uncomfortable! Why can't you two be more supportive?!?!

    Yeah We probably should be.

    I think a reality check is the best form of support in this case. I want to talk about uncomfortable. Uncomfortable is being in the hospital to keep moms body okay enough to stay pregnant. I get bugged by the nurse every 4 hours, poked by the lab person every morning at 4 am (and pray it's the good one working that day so it's only once), am limited to hospital food, share a tiny room and bathroom (no shower) with someone I have never met, sleep in an uncomfortable hospital bed, and am kept awake with random noises all night, my husband has to leave by 9 and can't make it on work days. Guess what-if my babies decided they needed/wanted to stay inside to 41 weeks I would proudly suffer all of this "discomfort" to make it happen. I am one of the lucky ones who gets this option because there are some people whose symptoms can't be controlled no matter what. These next few weeks will impact all of our babies health for the rest of their lives.

    This is important for some to hear. I have a feeling that I have been experiencing contractions or false labor in the last week. I told a co-worker yesterday and she said I was good to go now if I wanted. No, I'm not good to go. I'm 35 weeks and I will try my best to go to term at all costs. I'll go late if need be.

    I'm sorry that your going through this momma, I'll be thinking of you. I hope LO stays put for now.

    @finallyourturn2‌ YES. I was also on bedrest at the hospital with my first. It's miserable, I feel your pain. Literally, pain in your back, sides, legs, butt... All these "moms" complaining about being uncomfortable and talking about baby coming early makes me sick. Are you on a magnesium drip as well? Don't forget to mention all the IV's and getting them flushed. :frowning:

    I've been on pelvic rest and stuck at home since I hit 28 weeks, but at least I'm in the comfort of my own home. Sending you props for keeping those babies in there!!!

    I was on the mag drip. That is miserable. They took me off yesterday and I have been able to maintain BP's for a day. They let me go home today on bedrest except restroom, meals, and dr appts. I will definitely be following orders because hospital bed rest is the worst. As long as I maintain BP, they will let me stay pregnant until 37 weeks (due to twins and pre-e). As long as my BP is decent they will let me attempt vaginal delivery (if I choose to go to me high risk doctors hospital rather than my regular OB).

    Thank you for posting this! It puts into perspective how lucky I am at 34 weeks to be completely and utterly uncomfortable but able to be up and moving around. T&P that you stay pregnant and grow those babies full term! Hoping you find some sort of relief, if just for a moment from being uncomfortable!

    Uncomfortableness is a side effect of growing life but if we are extremely blessed and lucky we get to have a compilation free pregnancy and a full term baby. I might literally vomit if I see one more "I hope my baby comes soon" from someone not full term. I have a friend who lost her children in June due to premature labor that couldn't be stopped and I just want to sob when I see healthy pregnant women hoping and praying for their baby to come just to be "normal" again. News flash. Count your blessings and just be patient the reward we are getting in the end is so beautiful!

    Why assume this question is about trying to get things started early?

    I am of 'advanced maternal age' (ama) and the literature and docs want to induce so I don't go over my due date (I.e, plan induction on the 6th of March when I'm due the 8th). I would rather avoid a medical induction if possible.

    Understanding alternatives is important to me (and others here).
    I hope to give this baby the time she needs, and avoid the medical induction, and not get anxious by the expressed nerves of the OB literature about AMA and post-due date risks.

    Thank you to those who wrote about experiences w/ acupuncture, evening primrose (which apparently ripens the cervix, much like sex does), and non-high velocity chiropractic care that may prepare the cervix and uterus for a healthy labor.

    That sounds terrible! I had my appendix out at 4 months & my hospital stay was miserable, I can't even imagine! Glad they are letting you go home, hope those babies stay put for you!

    Thank you! I had my gallbladder out at 17 weeks and the hospital stay was much better. Maybe because it was shorter, or I knew when I was going home, or even because the hospital I was at was more like a dang spa (way too many rich people in Palo Alto). This stay was more stressful, and it could have just been the circumstances since it was a more serious diagnosis.

    THANKS to everyone who had a supportive answer.
    And to everyone who didnt, please never comment on anything of mine again.

    As someone said, EPO takes WEEKS to work it is only to prep my body for labor, DO YOUR RESEARCH before you decide to act like a dr yourself :)
    Isn't this suppose to be a community to be a community to support one another? Yet I got more negative input on this post than support. Thats really irritating.
    I had my daughter at 36 weeks by the way and she was perfectly healthy with no NICU. THANKS ANYWAYS :)
    & i was just in the hospital 2 days ago, 2cm dilated with my contractions being every 2 mins.
    I had to get medicine to stop them, NOT BECAUSE I TOOK THE EPO for those of you who are thinking of leaving some smart ass comment to this comment.
    My uterus does not grow enough during pregnancy to hold a baby to full term. Unless your my dr WHO ADVISED ME TO TAKE EPO please dont leave me your medical input. THANKS :):)

    I have seriously never seen anything like this. I make my girlfriends from the outside, come read these posts. They are as shocked as I am. It's like a gang around here. Like East side VS West Side. I am 35 weeks preg with my 4th son and had my last son 8 years ago, and often times I want to ask questions or simply vent to women who are in the same boat as me. I found The Bump in my google search of looking for a pregnancy forum to join. I was ecstatic to have something to look forward to sharing with other women- boy was I mistaken. I bartend for a living and have heard and seen pretty much everything, but I've NEVER seen women treat other women with such blatant disrespect. One person asks a question that is probably really important to her, or she wouldn't have had the courage to ask it- and god forbid a couple ladies read it and decides it's a pathetic question, and get the rest of the "community" worked up and the next thing you know- it's back to sides again. "Regs" vs "Newbs." And the poster of the question is backed into a corner and her feelings are hurt and she feels defensive. But if a "Reg" asks the question, it's treated as if Jesus Christ himself asked the question. What gives??? How about a little grace, ladies? And ps- unfortunately we know nothing about the old "community." A lot of us seem to have found The Bump at different times. We did not have the privilege of knowing the old gals that have moved on to bigger and better, nor were we privy to their stories. So kindly forgive us for trying to be a part of the present, as we have no clue about the past.
