How to bring on labor?

[Jill93]

I'm 39 weeks and 3 days pregnant today. I've been out of school since monday and want to get back as soon as I can. Is there anything that I can do to bring on labor.....that works?

You can try, but LO is going to come when he/she is ready!

I lived on my exercise ball from 35 weeks onwards. It doesn't really help you 'go' into labor, it just helps your body get ready. I just used the ball, walked a lot, and swam around a bit.

Hope something works for you!

Your LO will not come before they are ready. You can drink all the castor oil and walk around the entire earth but if they're not ready to come, nothing will happen.

There are ways to "prepare" your body though. You can use primrose tables, I believe to soften your cervix. Sperm softens your cervix. Walk, walk, walk and bounce, bounce, bounce to try and engage baby! There's lots of little tricks out there! Hopefully baby will get a move on for you!

I've been walking on my tredmill for a while now and I'm not sure it does anything but make me tired. I didn't know about the primrose tablets. As far as the sperm goes me and my boyfriend have had our own apartment for close to a month now. I've had more sex in the last month than my whole life before...at least twice day.

This is going to sound so stupid, haha! BUT! After you have sex, do you lift your legs and hips? I would prop them against the wall so the sperm can enter your cervix.

No, in fact after the 25th week I've always been on top since I really have an enormous bump....especially now. I don't think he has any trouble entering my cervix, my boyfriend is black and "very well endowed"!

LO will come when they are ready, no matter what you try, then can be very determined to hold on!

Don't forget your cervix rises up during pregnancy so he might not be getting all the way up there no matter how big he is, try doing a backwards roly poly off him
No really, Shannons right, is there any comfortable way he can go on top?

It's almost impossible for me to be on the bottom now and be at all comfortable. My boyfriend is really turned on to me right now, I'm enjoying sex but not as much as he is, besides we wont be having sex for at least six weeks after our son is born. I'm officially overdue today....40 weeks and 1 day. I'm hoping it wont be too many days now.

 

[lollipop92]

If this is your first child they usually say that you are more likely to go on to 41weeks. Baby will come when it's ready but I have heard that castor oil works. Due dates are only estimations, ur not overdue ur baby is just comfortable lol. good luck for labour

I've tried it ALL... n I'm still pregnant... I'm now a firm believer that LO really wont' come til they're ready...

It's hit n miss really... some of the techniques may work for you but not to "induce" labor more like speed up an already beginning labor...

I'm 100% effaced and 4cm dilated... and still... nothings worked for me...
