Is anyone else 38 weeks pregnant?
I’m 39 weeks and have been trying myself to do the same thing and nothing has worked. I tried nipple stimulation and it did cause contractions but it didn’t cause me to dilate at all, I tried walking for hours that didn’t work at all, I have had sex 2 times a day and all I got was pleasure. Anyway the only thing I didn’t’t try was the castor oil thing and that because the thought of having diarrhea and giving birth at the same time just doesn’t sound pleasing to me.
a higher percentage of first babies actually go overdue, you can try anything but it will only work if your body is ready and labour imminent anyway so you would only be bringing labour forward by a few hours at most so it seems pointless trying to me- though it didnt stop me trying all the same with my pregnancies, I am now 41 weeks with my third baby (went over due with each one!!) and even so im not a huge beleiver of methods to get baby out it hasnt stopped me trying all the same, I tried castor oil for the first time and I can tell you DONT DO IT ITS NOT WORTH IT and it didnt work obviously lol as im still going a week on, other than that I have hot baths everyday morning and evening, curries for late dinner each evening and also i have used it as time to get all those cleaning things done that you dont do everyday like getting down and cleaning skirting boards, windows, scrubbing the floors on all 4’s even so a mop would do the job just as well i did it to see if it would get me
