Question

i am 38 w 2 d and 3cm dialated and about 85% effaced and getting very frustrated. I have contractions only when i am standing but they lead to nothing, except frustration. I have these horrible hot flashes while having the contractions too....is this normal? any advice on what i can do to get this uncomfortable show on the road? 3rd baby by the way. but ad my daughter 33w and my son at 37 so i didnt have to play this wating game. lol. HELP!!!

Answer 1

It sounds like it&#039;s going to be any day now. I know the frustration of waiting. I was 40 weeks. Since you are 85% effaced, that is a great sign. Walk around if you can, and eat lightly in case you go into labor. Drinks lots of water, too. Good luck!

Answer 2

i feel your pain ... well not anymore mine is now 1 but my doc said have s*x theyres something in the sperm or something like that i dont know if it helped he was late  

Answer 3

Make sure you keep your doctor updated with any concerns, even if you just spoke to him or her earlier in the day. Mild activity helps such as walking. Call your doctor!!

Answer 4

I feel your pain... im 37 weeks 2cm dilated and 50% effaced however my doctor wants to induce me at 39 weeks because the baby is already very large and they don&#039;t think i will be able to deliver her if they wait longer than that. I dont want to get induced i want to go naturally so i am trying everything i can to get the show on the road... You should see if you can have your membranes swept i hear it brings on labor within a few hours. i am getting mine done at 38weeks. if your already having contractions you could also try nipple stimulation

this link has some other options on it if you want to take a look...
