Walking, red raspberry leaf tea, fresh pineapple juice, had a membrane sweep today and a lot of praying and coaching to the little guy. Hubby keeps going for the nips or some nookie, but I feel like a moose.
I drank the tea and did acupuncture with DS, also lots of walking. This time, I'm doing nothing since I'm terrified of going into labor naturally and having a faster labor than DS.
But I feel like I'm missing out with all the talk of sex, nipple stimulation and sitting on balls!
Red raspberry leaf tea, EPO vaginally daily, lots of foot rubs, sex, and walking a bunch. I'm 37+5. This little girl is really comfy in her water bed so I am not too hopeful. Lol. Good luck, ladies!
Lots of sitting and bouncing on an exercise ball. I also do things to try to temp fate like wash our sheets, drive my new car and anything that would make for a messy/dramatic/awkward water-breaking, should that occur. I think I need to work on my methods...LOL
My SIL told me yesterday that drinking tea made from cumin seeds would start my labor that night. She was super sure of herself. I told her she was crazy. So we made a bet. I drank the super gross tea... It's the next day. I'm still pregnant. But now she owes me a pack of diapers. lol
Sex. Walking. Tea. Everyone says it has to be rough sex to be effective. Who can have rough sex when you lose your breath walking from room to room?! We're spooning. Haha.
Just some walking and occasional DTD. I'm already 5cm so I'm hoping my water just breaks. Tonight I'm going to try some pineapple I'm craving it and I've heard things so why not
Rode my horse yesterday, walking, and that's about it. Been having some consistent contractions since 10 am yesterday. 39+5 so hoping this means shes coming soon! Slowly they are getting stronger and closer together... but I mean SLOWLY
Went to target... Came home and my water broke. Apparently, Target is the answer.
First - good luck! Woot woot!
Second - my sister had just finished shopping at Target when her water broke in the parking lot as she was putting her stuff in her car. Apparently, Target IS the answer! (Is now imagining hoards of pregnant women all swarming Target tonight)
I take my dog for walks. Just started EPO a few days ago and sit on the ball while I'm at my desk. I don't have energy for sex. All my energy is still going to preparation for baby's arrival. Saturday is my due date but I'm suspecting since I'm not dilated at all yet that I'll go another week. Appt is tomorrow so I'll discuss with the doc plans if she doesn't come by 41 weeks.
@klkonwi I love the "no sex for this beast" ) I'm totally with you on that one. I keep thinking I may get desperate and try that, but then I quickly change my mind.

It's just so impossible... We may need a sex tips thread...

Um, yes. I tried sex like, a week and a half ago and it was honestly just awful. We couldn't find a position that worked well enough and I just got super nauseous from all the movement. If anybody has some magical position I've never heard of, now is the time to speak! Lol
I joked with DH about having sex on the 18th so hopefully it would kickstart something for the solstice, and he didn't say anything. He's been suuuper weirded out by sex during pregnancy and I don't think he's really into the idea. I totally was, I was like - break a girl off some before it gets ripped to shreds and hurts all the time. But even before my appt today I was feeling sore down there (like the way your muscles feel after you work out if you're not active) and after my appt it just got worse. Unless that gets better, then No. No sex for me either. Which actually really sucks. But still. No.
It's so funny that y'all mention target. Every single time I went shop there I had to leave before I finished.. I started cramping and it was hard to walk through the pain. But when I went home I was fine.... They put something in the air.. I know it.
That's it! I'm going to be at target from opening til closing tomorrow. LOL! I'm 39+4 - scheduled induction Monday, but I really wish I could avoid it!! Pray for me ladies!

No sex for this beast.
I would like to get a ball for pelvic discomfort but I'm too cheap at this point lol

Ahhh great!!
I was there yesterday, no luck for me.
I love Target and practically go there at least twice a week
