Walking out doesn't really do much. Baby is going to come when they r ready. I walked for about 4 weeks straight and was in false labor the entire time. Still needed to be induced at 40 weeks bc I was soo exhausted an my doctor was going on vacation

It's almost over! You can make it! Exercise helped me when I was hurting my first pregnancy, like walking or stretching. I raked leaves the day before I went into labor. It was torture to get myself to do it but I was able to relax after.

Yes I take baths all the time. I wake up hurting in the middle of the nite and that's where I go. Straight for the tub.. I see my doctor tomorrow so I am hoping for good news..

Have you tried taking   hot bath while you were having contractions to soothe the pain?

Thank you so much. I know its best to wait it out but I am so uncomfortable. I can't sleep at nite. I am so wore out. I have been walking and just hoping she gets ready soon.

Yeah baby would most likely be fine. But they would still like the baby to have as much far on it as possible. So waiting a bit longer would be better. Babies grow A LOT in the last month

Is it ok for the baby to be born at 35 weeks? Wait and let nature take its course.

Talk to ur doctor. They probably won't do anything for a few more weeks. But if u r telling him how uncomfortable u are maybe he will set up and induction date. I was induced with my daughter on my due date bc I was so exhausted and had Braxton hicks contractions everyday for a month+
