Aa
not a question
Not technically a question...
I'm now, as of two hours ago, 36 weeks pregnant :-) and I just got really excited cause a wee orange 'baby arrived' box appeared on my page that tells me how far along I am etc.
Hoping munchkin makes an appearance soon, the midwife thinks ill go early so gave me tips on how to help kick start labour :-) and during my pelvic scan, she told me babys head was engaged, and I've already lost my mucous plug
Very excited :-D x

I tried the nipple stimulation, I was having cramp all night but it never came to very much. Definitely goimg to pick up some raspberry tea leaf though, in capsule form, cause apparently you can take up to 6 capsules a day, although midwife recommend starting off with 3 a day x
I heard its dangerous to do that (nipple stimulation) i have to goggle it and see but im going to try the raspberry tea leaf.
My second was 70 minutes! The doc said if its the same dad then it will more than likely be quicker every time. Kind of worried about that since my second was so fast lol!! Don't stress over it and it will happen!! Stimulate your nipples too that helps sometimes lol
It only took me 2 hrs for both of my kids. This will be #3 for me and im hoping its the same thing too but u never know not every baby come out the same so im nervous for this one.
Lol that sounds like a good labour :-) one of my friends was under 4 hours with both her labours and another was 3 days... So I'm hoping that I'm no longer than a day since its my first, but will be doing all I can to try help it start x
Sounds like its gonna start soon!!! I had a big meal walked a mile and had sex less than 12 hours after the sex a had my first born!! Labor only lasted 5hr 46 mins!!
I know, I'm trying to be optimistic that it'll come early, its been starting to engage since 29 weeks but was fully engaged today at my appointment so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Sex onky works for me now if am on top or doggy style, bump just gets in the way otherwise, I normally eat a lot of spicy food so goimg to try take it up a level, had chilli chicken and noodles for dinner tonight and added in extra chillies just for good measure, and gearing myself up for a long walk tomorrow x
Ive been walking. The sex idk bout it, cant even find a comfy position to sit. I eat alot of spicy food too but i guess if babies are ready to come out they won't come out no matter wat u try to do.
Walking & sex goodluck!
Just the usual, she recommended I start taking raspberry tea leaf, either in tea form or capsule, long walks (I akways end up with contractions after I walk the dog, as we take it on a 3 mile circuit) so I've to continue to do that daily, and eat spicy food. Ive been in false labour 3 times already, since I was 29 weeks, so they aren't goimg to stop me if I go early as baby a healthy 5lb 8oz or so. She said sex / orgasms as well, I'm goimg to be trying them all daily as I'm tired of being pregnant, I can't even sit down properly now x
How do u kick start labor? Im already 38 wks and is so tire of being prego.
