Progress Labor???

FTM here went to L&D yesterday found out I'm in early labor but they sent me home because I wasn't progressing fast enough now I'm 28 hours into early labor and was wondering if any mom's had some different tricks up their sleeves besides the usual, nipple stimulation, walking, and sex.... Please help

  • My ob told me to try squats as well.

  • Research evening primrose oil pills. You can either take them orally or insert them for faster results. Not sure how it'll work since your already in early labor though.

    The primrose doesn't help with getting labor moving or inducing. They are recommended to be taken around 36-37 weeks to help relax the cerix and surrounding muscles. Also its supposed to help with not tearing. Start cleaning your house get your body moving .... Vacuuming, sweeping, dusting, or try baking some cookies to keep on your feet and moving around. Go rent a movie ans get some spicy take out sit down put your feet up and relax till labor gets going.
  • Bounce around on a birthing ball if you have one.
  • Walking, lots of walking. If your water hasn't broken, you have plenty of time. Get some rest, do lots of walking (brisk walking, not the turtle shuffle kind of walking), and squats. Squats will help to open the pelvis and might help with dilation. Keep hydrated and make sure you are eating every couple of hours. Good Luck!
