I need help speedin up labor...currently 37 weeks...any ideas?

Question

I am 37 weeks with my 3rd baby and desperatley need to have her. I cant take care of my 2 toddlers because of so much uncomfort and pain. I have tried EVERYTHING the internet suggests and NOTHING. Just wondering if anyone has ideas on how to help. I have tried...castor oil, lots of s*x, TONS of walking, squats, and exercise, and prolly more i just cant think of anything else lol! PLEASE HELP!!!

Answer 1

Shes just not ready to come out yet. Dont rush it! Shell come when shes all down cooking. =p

Answer 2

I have felt your pain....nothing worked for me either. My mother told me to go down a very bumpy road, all I managed to do was waste all my money in gas going up and down the road. She also suggested very warm baths. Been there tried same things you did, and nothing worked! I guess the baby is just not ready to make their appearance yet. I wish you the best, and hope it happens sooner then later for your sake =)

Answer 3

I was in that same boat... walking of course is the best next to s*x. However, when I went to the doctor at 371/2 weeks I was 2 centimeters dilated and 80%effaced. Sop he "stripped my membranes" that was on friday by monday my water broke. If you have an appt. with your doctor inquire about this.

Answer 4

you are still too early for any of those things to work.  Please wait another week and try again.  Babies born at 37 weeks have breathing problems and need intensive care treatment too!!!  1 more week!!!  

Answer 5

i'm 37 weeks also, i feel your pain! this is my second pregnancy, and i feel like i can't take it anymore. i can barley carry a basekt of laundry up and down the stairs, i can't sleep at night, i can never get comfortable, i'm just ready to have this baby. but, i know i still have 3 weeks, and i'd rather my baby stay inside and get nice and big so i can have a healthy baby. trust me, i'm the biggest whimp ever when it comes to pain. if i can hang in there for three more weeks, you can to!  

Answer 6

Well maybe shes not ready, but the main 3 I heard was s*x, walking, and nipple stimulation.

Answer 7

I feel ur pain!! I'm 38 weeks and my back hurts so bad I can barely get out of bed or lift my legs to put pants on!! Housework is killer...I don't think any of those things work though...s*x, walking...any of them...I do alot of both and I'm still not in labor. I heard nipple stimulation is the only proven way to speed labor...but u have to do it like, 3 hours a day 7 days a week...I doubt u have time for that lol. Good luck nonetheless and I hope it she comes soon for you!!
