I started sitting on a birthing ball at 30 weeks with my first baby to relieve back pain and started bouncing gently at 33 weeks. I got a little more vigorous with my bouncing each day, and my baby was down in place at 36 weeks. Then, since I was at the "safe point" to give birth soon and baby's lungs were fully developed (monitored through ultrasound with the best tech around), I started bouncing my butt off at 36 weeks! I also started taking a warm bath nightly and put lots of EPO in the water, took EPO every night by mouth until 37 weeks when I started inserting it as well. I also started raspberry leaf tea to help build stronger pushes at 30 weeks. Anyway, I gave birth at 38w5d, but I pulled out all the stops.

My sister only used the birthing ball starting at 35 weeks and she gave birth at 38w5d too.

Great post and thanks for the info! What is EPO? I've heard about raspberry leaf tea and the benefits of a birthing ball, but I don't know what EPO is...My first was 17 days late, but my second was 17 days early. Who knows when this one'll make an appearance!

No advice, just interested to read your post as I carried low with my daughter and went 3 weeks early. I'm carrying low again, so will be interested to see if this one is early too!

I carried high with my first and was 2 weeks early, I did a lot of walking and that was about it.

I carried my third really high and had her at 37 weeks exactly. I think it is more likely that your body likes to cook them for a little longer than how high you're carrying x

Ya, it sounds like how you carry doesnt make a difference. Baby will come when it wants
