Trying to naturally induce labor

[Isabella1999]

Hi everyone,

Need some advice! Trying to naturally induce labor but don't know what's best to try?

What have people tried? And what has worked/helped for you?

Thanks in advance💜

Are you overdue?

[Isabella1999 in reply to Georgina_D]

No, due April 20th x

Then why are you keen to give birth early? It's easier said than done, but just try to relax and enjoy the last 20 or so days. Your body should go into labour when the time is right. And remember up to 42 weeks is normal! X

Yeah I know, just so uncomfortable and massive😩 x I'm going to try too but it's just getting the better of me😩x

I don't think you should be trying to induce labour three weeks before your due date, there is a reason why the gestation period is the length it is and those three weeks could be really important for your baby. Being uncomfortable is hard but being pregnant is only really a short time in the grand scheme of things and you should be putting baby first. Baby will come when he or she is ready, not when you've had enough of being pregnant.

It’s hard when you hit that pregnancy wall, you could even be late yet I’m afraid! Try busy yourself, arrange to meet friends for lunch and do some things you mightn’t have time to do after baby arrives, hairdressers, nails, anything. Just think how far you’ve come in comparison to how long you’ve left! You can do it 💪🏼.
