Aa
I am going to be pregnant FOREVER, I know it!
I'm so stressed out. I don't have the luxury of induction. Its not something my hospital does for women who have had c sections before. This would be my 2nd VBAC if I can get there! But I am 39 weeks measuring 43 and the baby is guessed to be 8-9lbs already. Yes, I know... not 100% but my last 2 were 8.13 and 9.5 so it stands to reason. If he gets too big they're going to "reccomend c section" and I would be dumb to ignore their advice...
Idk if Im done having kids yet and 1 more c section and thats it for me... no more natural birth! I have 2 kids I cannot be out of commision as long as I was with my c section before. Husband has to work. There is literally nobody to assist me daily. Everyone works. I really want that vbac!
I have tried it all! Nipple stimulation, sex, walking, raspberry leaf tea,spicy food! Nothing works!
Is there some magical thing I havent tried yet?!
I have no idea how dilated/effaced I am. Last I knew sunday I was "a loose 1 maybe 2cm" and I was "soft" how soft?! No clue.
I am just really stressing.... Tryyyyying to relax but phhhttt ok...right lol
I am all over the place!
Stories,words of encouragment.... anything helps!

^yeah and I guess your comment helped too....
Sorry I guess I can be like everyone else and give you false hope that things will happen because you want to pretend to play god and follow some old wives tale. Every single doctor that you talk to will tell you exactly the same thing. people do not know what causes you to go into labor and no one can predict regardless of what you do when you will go into labor. If sex and walking and specific foods made you go into labor you would not be able to do any of that throughout your entire pregnancy! When your body is ready things will happen and every person and every pregnancy is different. So why stress and constantly revolve your entire mind thoughts and energy into trying to make something you really have no control over happen? Refocus that energy and those thoughts on positive thinking and enjoying the last few days/weeks/hours of your pregnancy and the every day events happening around you and your family.

^ Yeah, cause that really helped.
I have heard full term now is technically 39 weeks not 37 any more. You are just at 39. Baby will be here when he is ready. Just hang in there and most likely when you stop trying to make it happen it will happen. Believe me I was so ready to be done being pregnant and meet my baby...but you cant really make it happen. Just relax and let things happen naturally.
Sorry if I offend you...just see you always wanting to make things happen. I measured big too and when baby was ready he was here regardless of what I did or did not do...and im sure your dr thinks the same. Even if they check you it means nothing. I've seen women on here dialated and thinned out for weeks and nothing...but I hope things work out for you. Not trying to be mean. Just maybe trying to save you some unnecessary stress and worry. Good luck with everything. :)

Its the basil that is in the eggplant that is supposed to help... lots and lots of basil... ive heard castor oil but the baby may poop inside of you so I would steer clear of it... I dont understand why the wont induce you... or why she didn't check you .. she is on board with the vbac... or is that just what she told you
And I didn't poop while in labor, or have diarrhea at all
Castor oil worked for me I'm less than 12 hours after drinking it, my baby was in my arms!!
