I'm really thankful for the reminder to rest. I am 37 weeks now and sleep is so hard to come by. I should take it easy instead of trying to keep a "perfect" home.
I think the biggest tip I give women is that due dates can be up to 2 weeks off so if you stress about your due date, it can delay things further and baby will come when ready in most cases, and them needing extra time is GOOD a lot of times!
My due date is on september 13 , im 39weeks and 5days. First time momma here. Hope i will induce it in home. 🙏🤰 Pray for me 🙏to a normal and safe delivery . 🙏🙏
I tried the dates at 34 weeks but couldn’t keep them down, I’m now 37 weeks and trying the acupressure, raspberry leaf tea (never thought to cool it down), pineapples, yoga ball, spicy foods, walking, I tried the miles circuit lol and this baby is so happy being inside even though he is super low, he’s not low enough to engage
Due August 21st , I’m 2 cm dilated and 50% effaced . I’m praying my body naturally prepares and I have a smooth delivery. First time mommy and baby boy is so heavy already 💙😩
36+2 currently and I am going to increase my red raspberry leaf tea intake, keep up on the dates, exercise ball, and rest. I'm going to incorporate the acupressure, nipple stimulation, pineapple, squats and spicy food! Thank you for all the tips!!
I am definitely going to try this. I’m 40 weeks and a couple days but I also have a two year old and a one year old to take care of and being this big and pregnant is soooooo hard and I’m ready to get my body back not only for me but my little ones. Thank you for the tips!
I’ve been eating the dates, taking evening primrose oil both ways, sex, pumping 3x a day, sitting on my ball, going for walks, napping, staying hydrated, eating pineapple. I’ve even tried castor oil. Nada and I’m 38 weeks, healthy I just already have a large baby.
That’s ok!! Do you have an exercise ball/birthing ball? I have a video on that as well and you can do lunges and squat type motions while sitting on the ball to relieve the pressure! ☺️
I think I’m going to have to go buy one this week. I’ve heard a lot of people say that it’s a really good tool to have just in general! Can you maybe explain alittle more please?
I am 39.4 and I am READY. I bought the red raspberry leaf tea the other day, I don’t look forward to the taste but I’ll try to tolerate it. I won’t lie... sex seems so painful right now but I’ve been debating it!. Lol 😂 someone out there understands my scare lol. I have the ball too and been bouncing but nada yet. ..
I'm going to do stretches, ball exercises, even more cups a day of red raspberry leaf tea and extra water to keep hydrated plus squats, lunges, and getting enough rest! My 2nd baby, and I am a week after due date!
I'm three days late now and am sick of false labour which never leads anywhere. Yesterday I was shaking by the time bed time rolled around, though I did end up getting some sleep. I'll have to try these. Walking is a bit of a challenge right now. Baby is sitting very low and pressing down hard.
It’s weird how people always stress to ask for permission from a doctor who has no problem shooting fentanyl & other drugs into your spine lol makes total sense 🤦🏽♀️
I underestimated how many raspberry leaf teabags and dates I need 😂 since I was buying organic, I was using them sparingly, but there’s probably not much effect the way I’m doing it. I’m 39.3weeks and will be in induced at 40.2weeks. Hoping baby will come out on her own terms.
Very helpful! I’m 35 weeks with my first and I’ve incorporated squats and using the exercise ball daily. I’m going to purchase the dates you talked about. Thank you 💜
Getting induced next week on Wednesday, exactly a week away, hoping I go into labor on my own but who knows. My first didnt wanna come on her own I was induced then to. Just looking forward to bb
Travis Barrett I had her this morning at 4:17am. It was the most painful experience of my life but my little one is so perfect! You can set her my name on IG to see her.
I’m 36 weeks with my 3rd and I have a 2yr old and a 4yr old and I am so freakin tired of being pregnant I just want my baby girl to come already this has been such a hard pregnancy for me and I’m just so done...definitely going to be doing a lot of these things soon to try to kickstart labor...
I love these tips! I am facing an induction at 37 weeks due to complications of my pregnancy but will talk to my doctor about trying these before medication is given
I'm 38w 3d. I've started the evening primrose and started raspberry leaf tea around 32 weeks. With pregnancy #1 I went into labor with this and my labor ball by 39w 3d. So we will see how it goes this time, I'm attempting a vbac with pregnancy #3 this time! 😁 really looking forward to seeing what works this time!
@@thehaleybarry thank you! I'm definitely going to try some of these if I get too close to my induction date (because I'm vbac I can't go further than 40w 3d) so thank you for all of the tips 😄
I’ve literally tried everyyyyything and nothing at all worked for me 🥵 my best advice is to just rest and try and have as much energy as possible for labor.
I am 39 weeks exactly and hoping these tips help! My bonus daughters birthday is my due date so im hoping I won't give birth exactly on my due date, I feel like it would suck to share your birthday with your sister haha Thanks for the great tips!
I am new to this channel and this is your first video that I've watched 😊. I had a c-section 2 years ago and I am currently 36 weeks pregnant due on the 8th Oct. I will try doing squats and lunges as I am currently walking from work to help me get a successful VBAC. Thanks for all the tips ❤.
Due tomorrow and I haven’t felt any signs of labor starting. I’ve tried eating dates all month, drinking red raspberry leaf tea, bouncing on the yoga ball and stretching, forward inversions, evening primrose oil, pregnancy tea tincture, get massages weekly for the past six weeks.
I’ve recently starting pumping 15 minutes a side daily. By the last 10 minutes on the last side I start to get cramps but they haven’t yet progressed to actual labor which is a shame but a bonus is a have a small collection of colostrum for Bub in the freezer! Here to try some different tips!
I’m due October 2 and I’m glad I came across this video it is going to help me a lot I’m going to start doing most of these when I’m 36 weeks !! Thank you for the tips
Really appreciate the video and the tips - although I hope you clarify on induction. Women are most often medically induced prior to 42 weeks, not at 42 weeks. This is because there are multiple types of induction methods that can take up to three days to see results or take effect. As we all know after 42 weeks the baby is at risk as the placenta starts to lose effectiveness. We have heard this from my wife's pregnancy doctor and multiple videos on CZcams posted by Medical centers and RN's.
Depends on the medical provider. A lot of medical providers will do thorough ultrasounds and NSTs towards the end of pregnancy to be sure the baby and mama and placenta are handling the pregnancy well as due dates are just estimates and may not mean the placenta is “dying.” That’s why it’s important to talk to your physician. Also, most medical inductions done at 42 weeks do not take 3 days to initiate. These are just general guidelines and your physician or midwife will make the final call based on mama and baby’s health! Hope that helps.
I'm 39 weeks as of today with my second baby! I've been drinking the raspberry leaf tea already for probably 2 weeks now and still nothing. I've tried baths, colostrum harvesting, walking and doing stairs and baby just doesn't want to come out yet lol 😂🙃
Welcome to the club smh!! Let’s just keep pushing. Just made 40 weeks.. doing daily labor inducing yoga and some of these tips cause this girl needs to gtfo 😫😫😫
Due March 30th! I'm going to start getting real antsy 😅 I've had such a smooth and good experience being pregnant but I am pretty ready to meet our little boy ❤
@@Weird7890 yesterday I had all this lower back aching and some cramping and I got so excited! And then this morning I wake up and nothing 😩 Any day now!!
Due in a week time ! Hoping everything will go well . Currently 2cm dilated , can someone help me with tips how to dilate soon and get more contractions! TIA❤️Respect to all the mama’s here n all the best ..
If you don’t have a medical reason for induction then try to hold it off until 42 weeks when you’re actually considered late. Otherwise some of these will definitely help prep your body for labor!! Good luck and congrats mama!! ☺️💗
Congrats to u all!! I’m due Sep 2nd and I have a appointment Wednesday, Aug 19th. Im getting membranes stripped. I’m dilated 3 cm and 50 percent effaced!! Hope she comes soon. She’s already 9 pounds 😌
What a great video! Acupressure is so great! Yes thumb area and visualize grounding down, imagine baby coming down and out. 🌳🌳 LI4, Spleen 6 measure 4 fingers width from ankle bone and breathe ground and center mind ST36 along shin.
I am having my 5th baby, and need to be induced at 38 weeks due to having GD and Baby Macrosomia (large baby) to avoid any complications with my labor/birth. I went to 39/40 weeks with my first 4 but I didn't have any complications with any of them, so this is a first, trying to find ways to naturally move things along to make it as easy as possible and possibly avoid the medical induction.
I’m due August 1st and I am dying it’s so hot and miserable and I’m so swelled up I’m willing to try anything cause my dr will only induce as a very last resort
We have the same due date! 😊 Have you had any contractions yet? My first was born at 39 weeks 1 day so I was expecting this one to come around the same time 😆
Courtney Walker I’ve had like 3 I think... but this is my first one so I don’t really know what a contraction feels like I’m just going off what I think was a contraction 😂
I tried everything everyday from 38wks onwards and my son was born on his due date so nothing speed's up labour. I never tried the midwives brew though so cant comment on that specifically.
So happy I found your videos, 38 weeks as of yesterday. I have been walking and drinking tea so was looking for some good birthing ball videos. I’m excited to check yours out. I’m due August 16th and want nothing more than for baby to come naturally!!!
hi!! I had to be induced at 42 weeks. it was my biggest fear as well. But just dont panic. my first was 5 days late and came on his own without inducement.
I feel like my obgyn is setting me up for a c section. My whole pregnancy we agreed to do vbac...... I listened to everything they told me to do I lost 36 pounds reversed my type 2 diabetes got healthy and now all of a sudden she wants to do a c section at 37 weeks..... I'm currently 35 weeks I told her no I want vback and she told me if I could go into labor naturally before 37 weeks she would let me try..... But it's like how!!!! I need to try everything I can. I'm incredibly frustrated and hope something works
So sorry. It sounds like you already know this but the odds of going into labor naturally prior to 37 weeks is very rare. Is there an option to switch providers? I switched providers when I was over 40 weeks pregnant. Hope you find a plan you can be peaceful about! Congrats on your baby!!!
Congratulations on doing so well during your pregnancy! Losing 36 pounds and reversing type 2 diabetes is an incredible feat! I understand your disappointment. You feel that suddenly the criteria has switched - when you've worked so hard. I agree with Haley that considering another provider could be an option. Alternatively, presenting the facts and reminding the agreement you had with the current provider - with a partner or support person there with you - may make a difference. So often providers are aiming at what is most comfortable for them. As clients we need to push and let them know they are working for us.
I'm looking for new dr. So far no luck-_- I told my husband I'm determined not to have a c section! I put in all this work I deserve the outcome I so desperately want♥️♥️
Raven, I’m so sorry! I had a doctor do the exact same thing when I went for my first vba2c with twins. I found a new provider at 37 weeks and went into labor naturally at 38 weeks. I had a successful hospital vbac of twins! I had a home birth vbac a year later and am now 40+3 with another baby, preparing for another hba2c!
Yeah, the only way for pineapple to work is if you eat like 5 while pineapples including the core (because that's what has the most bromelain in it). Which is really bad for your mouth!
I’m due in 1 week 6 days. I’m so ready to go! Been eating six dates a day since 36 weeks, bouncing on my birth ball, having sex, walking, resting, candle lit baths...hopefully get things going this week.
addixiion I know it’s miserable, I feel for you. I already miss having him in my belly with me all the time though. The grass is always greener, you know 💙💔
Thank you! I had him July 19 at 10:35pm via c section. Lol his head kept getting stuck because he kept wanting to move his head while I was pushing. My water broke that morning because I had spicy potato soup two nights in a row
I’m 36 weeks and I can barely walk I’m in so much pain. I’ve been getting like 2-3 contractions and hour but I’m waiting to get more so I can go in and not get sent home.
Thanks so much for the tips! I’m due in 3 days! September 19, don’t think baby will be coming that day though. I think she’s a little too comfortable. If no baby after Saturday, will def try the raspberry tea, and your secret tip! Is it too much if I do both? Should I just stick to one? Don’t want to overwhelm my body or baby. My pregnancy had been very healthy and easy going. :)
I'll be trying some of these. I'm 35 weeks but most likely will be induced around 37w due to growth issues. My son I had to be induced at 36w. He should have been c section cuz he wasn't tolerating induction at all. But the midwives wouldn't let me see a dr cuz "midwives know more". He was born very poorly cuz they forced vaginal delivery. Im praying this time labor will start early so I don't have to be induced again.
Honestly the most information we found in one video every other video is of ppl trying to make you do hand stands and all different things that my fiancé found silly or uncomfortable.
I got two weeks left I’m due sept 14 with my first little one and I’m so nervous cause I’m still working and I don’t wanna get induced but I do want him to come just a little bit faste
I'm here now because it's my due date today! And midwife told me I need a membrane sweep next week! And I really dont wanna have that. I have dates, raspberry tea and also an exercise ball! So I'm doing all of these today! Haha. Fingers crossed 🤞 thanks for the info
I’m 36 weeks with number 2 but we have a history of going over in the family and I did with my first and had to be induced. Even that barely worked to get him out lol so I figured I’d start a bit early
My due date was 4 days ago and I’m kind of mad. I feel like everyone gives birth by their due date but I’m left waiting until they threaten to induce me! Last time I was 41+1 and they scheduled me for an induction the next morning so I took the midwife brew (which worked!). I don’t want to HAVE to take it again but I’m starting to feel like that might happen. My parents and grandparents came out of state to see the baby and I’ll be mad if they have to leave before then, or it happens way at the end. Tomorrow I’ve got my midwife appointment so I may ask her if I could take the midwife brew already.
It’s so hard to wait. Some ladies just have naturally slightly longer gestation. I’m one of the them. All my babies were past 40 weeks. 41 + 1, 41+3 and 41+5. First one was induction and last two were all natural. Hang in there mama 🥰
Im due today and no sign of my baby wanting out yet. With the raspberry leaf tea my midwife recommended at 36 weeks for 1 cup of tea a day and then at 37+ 2 cups and then i got recommended to shove a evening primrose oil capsule with a pin hole in it up my tush and leave it over night.
Im due September 11... not even dilated. I have been drinking raspberry leaf tea, eating 6 dates, and the evening primrose oil. She don’t want to come out 😂
I'm scheduled for a membrane sweep at my 38 week appointment due to issues with gestational diabetes. I'm 36 weeks right now. I've already been doing raspberry leaf tea and primrose oil vaginally. I'm going to talk to my midwife about the midwife's brew. Maybe I can do that the morning of the induction to help with the membrane sweep. She mentioned starting me on pitocin if the membrane sweep doesn't start my labor and I would like to avoid that if I can!
I tried evening primrose oil. I didn’t take it regularly but I took it orally at 36 weeks and the next day my water broke at 8am I also had GD so I’m not sure if it actually put me into labor or if it was the GD or just genetics but it was definitely a coincidence. I was running off no sleep when my water broke and I labored for 17 hours and at the end I hadn’t slept in over 48 hours
37 weeks and 4 days. Bubs is engaged in my pelvis and I’ve felt lightening crotch but no braxton Hicks :( Hoping baby girl comes soon, feeling veryyyyy uncomfortable !

Raspberry leaf tea was a LIFESAVER for me we started at 35 weeks and I had him 37 weeks and it was amazing short labor.

Who else is here and is due in about a week?! Come on baby, get out of me!!
Next week 🙏🏼 have a safe delivery !
I was due on November 10, still waiting to go into labor naturally. Wish you the best!
Due on Sunday
Hope you all had a safe delivery 🥰 due next week on the 10th
Due today and want him out I’m exhausted !!!

You got this mama, due dates are just estimates and your body and baby know the best time to start labor for both of you. CONGRATS
Same due date I have! I have a girl I’m 3 days over mine
Prayers it went well! I’m praying my baby boy comes out smoothly! May your family grow in Jesus together!!
36+2 currently and I am going to increase my red raspberry leaf tea intake, keep up on the dates, exercise ball, and rest. I'm going to incorporate the acupressure, nipple stimulation, pineapple, squats and spicy food! Thank you for all the tips!!
I'm 38 weeks tomorrow and I'm so impatient to meet my baby boy!
What worked for you?
Did anything help you?
I am definitely going to try this. I’m 40 weeks and a couple days but I also have a two year old and a one year old to take care of and being this big and pregnant is soooooo hard and I’m ready to get my body back not only for me but my little ones. Thank you for the tips!
Jessica Sansoucie absolutely! Hope these work for you. You are SO close. Congrats!! ☺️💗
I’m first time mom due sept 19th
Hoping baby comes in naturally with no medication🤞🏼
Have you delivered yet?
A tip with the raspberry leaf tea is to add both honey or agave, and a lot of lemon juice. I actually like the taste then
I’ve been eating the dates, taking evening primrose oil both ways, sex, pumping 3x a day, sitting on my ball, going for walks, napping, staying hydrated, eating pineapple. I’ve even tried castor oil. Nada and I’m 38 weeks, healthy I just already have a large baby.
Currently in the same boat! 40+5 and nothing is working. How did your labor turn out?
Scary how confident this lady is without referencing any research that backs off these practices are at the very least safe
These are natural remedies. Eat, rest, stretch. Normal and safe. Better than being induced by the medical establishment, now that doesn't seem safe
I can’t even do squats or lunges 😭😭😭 my knees aren’t into that lol
That’s ok!! Do you have an exercise ball/birthing ball? I have a video on that as well and you can do lunges and squat type motions while sitting on the ball to relieve the pressure! ☺️
I think I’m going to have to go buy one this week. I’ve heard a lot of people say that it’s a really good tool to have just in general! Can you maybe explain alittle more please?
Samee😭😭🤧
@@kayybabyy2328 she has a video on it..
That’s so funny my knees won’t do it either lol

I won’t lie... sex seems so painful right now but I’ve been debating it!. Lol 😂 someone out there understands my scare lol. I have the ball too and been bouncing but nada yet. ..

Same I’m suppose to be induced on Monday and I’ll be 37 weeks
Due to low birth weights
I'm 38w 3d. I've started the evening primrose and started raspberry leaf tea around 32 weeks. With pregnancy #1 I went into labor with this and my labor ball by 39w 3d. So we will see how it goes this time, I'm attempting a vbac with pregnancy #3 this time! 😁 really looking forward to seeing what works this time!
Janay Bellas that is so amazing Janay!! Congrats mama!! ☺️💗🙏
@@thehaleybarry thank you! I'm definitely going to try some of these if I get too close to my induction date (because I'm vbac I can't go further than 40w 3d) so thank you for all of the tips 😄
Definitely, the more you can do from now on, the better! Good luck! 💗
Never got anywhere with labor. I was overdue and had no sign of labor to come, so next time I think I may try Acupuncture. Thank you!
Ask the Moms yes that’s a great idea!! Thanks for watching ☺️💗
I had to get induced at 42 weeks 0_0
123abc same here and still nothing
I’ve literally tried everyyyyything and nothing at all worked for me 🥵 my best advice is to just rest and try and have as much energy as possible for labor.
Currently scheduled to be induced in 6 days..
Ive been induced with my 2 other kids.. and i DO not want to again :/. Hoping she comes beforeeee!!
4 days... Please God, let the labor take away these terrible life-limiting round ligament pains 😢
5 days til induction.. July 10.. hope she can come before then. I am huge and..... a surrogate.
Good luck!!!
I am 39 weeks exactly and hoping these tips help! My bonus daughters birthday is my due date so im hoping I won't give birth exactly on my due date, I feel like it would suck to share your birthday with your sister haha

When you said hold off on induction until 42 weeks my brain heard 32 weeks and I thought you misspoke but then realized I misheard lol
Due tomorrow and I haven’t felt any signs of labor starting. I’ve tried eating dates all month, drinking red raspberry leaf tea, bouncing on the yoga ball and stretching, forward inversions, evening primrose oil, pregnancy tea tincture, get massages weekly for the past six weeks.
Did it help ??
I’ve recently starting pumping 15 minutes a side daily. By the last 10 minutes on the last side I start to get cramps but they haven’t yet progressed to actual labor which is a shame but a bonus is a have a small collection of colostrum for Bub in the freezer! Here to try some different tips!
How many weeks are you when you start pumping?
Definitely gonna try a lot of these. I'm 37 weeks and I'm so ready for my baby boy to be here lol.
Awesome! Just be careful which ones you try before 39 weeks but otherwise you are so close mama! Congrats! ☺️💗
did any work for you? im 37 weeks as well and am UNCOMFORTABLE 😩
I’m due October 2 and I’m glad I came across this video it is going to help me a lot I’m going to start doing most of these when I’m 36 weeks !! Thank you for the tips

I'm 39 weeks as of today with my second baby! I've been drinking the raspberry leaf tea already for probably 2 weeks now and still nothing. I've tried baths, colostrum harvesting, walking and doing stairs and baby just doesn't want to come out yet lol 😂🙃
Welcome to the club smh!! Let’s just keep pushing. Just made 40 weeks.. doing daily labor inducing yoga and some of these tips cause this girl needs to gtfo 😫😫😫
39 weeks is still perfect to do midwives brew you don't have to wait till due date but it recommended to wait :)
I'm so glad I found this. Due Aug 5th. Ready for our princess. My body is done.
I hear you mama. Congrats and hang in there, you’re so close!!
Due March 30th! I'm going to start getting real antsy 😅
I've had such a smooth and good experience being pregnant but I am pretty ready to meet our little boy ❤
I was due yesterday and im getting very uncomfortable. Tried lunges, squats, the birthing ball, red raspberry leaf tea, and nothing yet.
I’m due the 31st! I’m so ready to get her out 😩
@@Weird7890 yesterday I had all this lower back aching and some cramping and I got so excited! And then this morning I wake up and nothing 😩
Any day now!!
due April 3rd so still hoping 😩
Due in a week time ! Hoping everything will go well . Currently 2cm dilated , can someone help me with tips how to dilate soon and get more contractions! TIA❤️Respect to all the mama’s here n all the best ..
Aw I'm due September 2nd
And I've been feeling the pressure in my lower abdomen, cant wait to hold my third baby girl
Yay!!! So exciting!!
Jessica drake..me too!! Im due 9/2 Congrats🥰
I’m due September 3rd congratulations mama
I’m due September 3 ❤️❤️ The 3rd is my parent’s anniversary and the 5th is my birthday 🥰
Jessica Drake I’m due sept 3 with my first!
I'm due Sept 2nd and my doctor has already recommend an induction for 39 weeks. I'm only 1cm dilated currently and started Raspberry Leaf Tea today.
If you don’t have a medical reason for induction then try to hold it off until 42 weeks when you’re actually considered late. Otherwise some of these will definitely help prep your body for labor!! Good luck and congrats mama!! ☺️💗
I am Sept 2nd as well. Baby has dropped. 2cm dialated and 75% effaced. I want him out :(
Congrats to u all!! I’m due Sep 2nd and I have a appointment Wednesday, Aug 19th. Im getting membranes stripped. I’m dilated 3 cm and 50 percent effaced!! Hope she comes soon. She’s already 9 pounds 😌
Thank you, really relief and educative, I'd go with the walk, stretch and squat stuff.
ATITA OYOYO so glad you enjoyed it!
What a great video! Acupressure is so great! Yes thumb area and visualize grounding down, imagine baby coming down and out. 🌳🌳 LI4,
Spleen 6 measure 4 fingers width from ankle bone and breathe ground and center mind
ST36 along shin.
im sooooo excited to watch this! almost due! full term in less than a week!!!!
I am having my 5th baby, and need to be induced at 38 weeks due to having GD and Baby Macrosomia (large baby) to avoid any complications with my labor/birth.
I went to 39/40 weeks with my first 4 but I didn't have any complications with any of them, so this is a first, trying to find ways to naturally move things along to make it as easy as possible and possibly avoid the medical induction.
I’m due August 1st and I am dying it’s so hot and miserable and I’m so swelled up I’m willing to try anything cause my dr will only induce as a very last resort
Girl I’m so swelled up too! I’m due August 27! I’m so ready for her to come out
It can be rough mama. Hang in there!! Congrats!! ☺️💗
Nikki Boza the last 3 weeks has definitely been the worst of this whole pregnancy
We have the same due date! 😊 Have you had any contractions yet? My first was born at 39 weeks 1 day so I was expecting this one to come around the same time 😆
Courtney Walker I’ve had like 3 I think... but this is my first one so I don’t really know what a contraction feels like I’m just going off what I think was a contraction 😂
I’m 37 weeks I just bought the raspberry leaf tea !! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
I'm 37 weeks well lol my babymama is an we're trying
Raspberry leaf tea doesn’t work, I tried it 3 years ago
I tried everything everyday from 38wks onwards and my son was born on his due date so nothing speed's up labour. I never tried the midwives brew though so cant comment on that specifically.
I tried castor oil with my daughter at 38 weeks (she is now 11) and absolutely nothing happened. In fact she was born 6 days late.
The dates give me heartburn 🥲
So happy I found your videos, 38 weeks as of yesterday. I have been walking and drinking tea so was looking for some good birthing ball videos. I’m excited to check yours out. I’m due August 16th and want nothing more than for baby to come naturally!!!
Britt Maire so great to hear!!!! Congrats mama!! 💗☺️
My due date is 3 days away and I’m getting very impatient and my anxiety is at the max. I absolutely do not want to be induced that really scares me.
hi!! I had to be induced at 42 weeks. it was my biggest fear as well. But just dont panic. my first was 5 days late and came on his own without inducement.
Did you go into labor naturally?
Try to hold off induction till 42 weeks and hang in there mama, I hope it goes smoothly for you!!
Due date is October 27th and so tired of this foot swelling 😩
Same due date and I’m just praying to even go into labor today 😫😫😫. Just finished some pineapples though
Same here! Only 1cm dialated so far 🥺
Same due date as well!!! 39 weeks tomorrow and am praying my babygirl gets here soon 😩 I don’t wanna wait another week ☹️
My due date is 27th too! Just got my membranes swept yesterday
same. I tired. I've tried everything and nothing works. I've been googling my butt off trying to find ways to get this sweet boy out of me
I feel like my obgyn is setting me up for a c section. My whole pregnancy we agreed to do vbac...... I listened to everything they told me to do I lost 36 pounds reversed my type 2 diabetes got healthy and now all of a sudden she wants to do a c section at 37 weeks..... I'm currently 35 weeks I told her no I want vback and she told me if I could go into labor naturally before 37 weeks she would let me try..... But it's like how!!!! I need to try everything I can. I'm incredibly frustrated and hope something works
Raven Wrenn that’s frustrating! Good luck
So sorry. It sounds like you already know this but the odds of going into labor naturally prior to 37 weeks is very rare. Is there an option to switch providers? I switched providers when I was over 40 weeks pregnant. Hope you find a plan you can be peaceful about! Congrats on your baby!!!
Congratulations on doing so well during your pregnancy! Losing 36 pounds and reversing type 2 diabetes is an incredible feat! I understand your disappointment. You feel that suddenly the criteria has switched - when you've worked so hard. I agree with Haley that considering another provider could be an option. Alternatively, presenting the facts and reminding the agreement you had with the current provider - with a partner or support person there with you - may make a difference. So often providers are aiming at what is most comfortable for them. As clients we need to push and let them know they are working for us.
I'm looking for new dr. So far no luck-_- I told my husband I'm determined not to have a c section! I put in all this work I deserve the outcome I so desperately want♥️♥️
Raven, I’m so sorry! I had a doctor do the exact same thing when I went for my first vba2c with twins. I found a new provider at 37 weeks and went into labor naturally at 38 weeks. I had a successful hospital vbac of twins! I had a home birth vbac a year later and am now 40+3 with another baby, preparing for another hba2c!
You can put honey in your raspberry leaf tea to sweeten it. 2:32
Really informative! I would suggest not doing the pineapple. I tried it a week ago and I still have a sore on the roof of my mouth 😕
Your eating to close to the core
Yeah, the only way for pineapple to work is if you eat like 5 while pineapples including the core (because that's what has the most bromelain in it). Which is really bad for your mouth!
I’m due in 1 week 6 days. I’m so ready to go! Been eating six dates a day since 36 weeks, bouncing on my birth ball, having sex, walking, resting, candle lit baths...hopefully get things going this week.
I am 38 weeks and 1 day pregnant. Due date is on August 14. I hope to give birth this week. I hope this will work for me. 😊❤️
Mommy Cherrie so great!! Congrats! Try these and give your body time, your baby will be in your arms before you know it! ☺️💗
My due date is August 14th too! Good luck with L&D, I hope everything goes smoothly and easily for you! ❤️
I’m due August 15!! Really hoping to give birth this week as well.. my first baby. I’m trying everything to get her to come! Goodluck to u :)
Due date was also 14th of August.. still pregnant :/
addixiion I know it’s miserable, I feel for you. I already miss having him in my belly with me all the time though. The grass is always greener, you know 💙💔
I have a week or so left. so ready to be able to hold my little man
SO EXCITING. Congrats!!
Thank you! I had him July 19 at 10:35pm via c section. Lol his head kept getting stuck because he kept wanting to move his head while I was pushing. My water broke that morning because I had spicy potato soup two nights in a row
Thanks for all the tips im currently 37 weeks pregnant this really help me.
38 weeks and 5 days here with baby#3 and I don't want to go over again 🥺
This is AMAZING. Thank you for sharing.
Clicked on the free labor course link twice and a message popped up saying this page does not exist
I’m due in 9 days, I’m so fed up 😅
Same here! Due in 9 days too. No signs of labor, close cervix
I tried everything nothing work so tire i think he only come on God’s time ! amost 41 week
I’m 36 weeks and I can barely walk I’m in so much pain. I’ve been getting like 2-3 contractions and hour but I’m waiting to get more so I can go in and not get sent home.
Isn't that a bit too soon?🙈 hope you're doing and feeling well now
thamayo25 Some doctors consider 36 weeks full term, and plus the lungs are fully developed by 36 weeks as well
@@jaaade03 how did it go? My babygirl was born last week😍 hope everything is ok
Thanks so much for the tips! I’m due in 3 days! September 19, don’t think baby will be coming that day though. I think she’s a little too comfortable. If no baby after Saturday, will def try the raspberry tea, and your secret tip! Is it too much if I do both? Should I just stick to one? Don’t want to overwhelm my body or baby.
My pregnancy had been very healthy and easy going. :)
I'll be trying some of these. I'm 35 weeks but most likely will be induced around 37w due to growth issues. My son I had to be induced at 36w. He should have been c section cuz he wasn't tolerating induction at all. But the midwives wouldn't let me see a dr cuz "midwives know more". He was born very poorly cuz they forced vaginal delivery. Im praying this time labor will start early so I don't have to be induced again.
Hope this will help. My due is on 20th of october. And still didn’t feel any contractions. 😪😩
My due is on October 20th aswell. No sign of labour yet :( best of luck to both of us.
I'm 23rd October and sooo ready to meet her 😩
I’m due on the 31st :) Hope everything goes well for you ladies!
I'm October 26th I've been having contractions but I'm not dilated far enough 😭
Omg in due oct 20 aswell !!the 21 Its also my birthday so who knows she might be born on my birthday 😍
Gonna try the dates, I'm 38 weeks preggers today.
My due date was today so I’m looking at videos to see if I can induce naturally since my doctor wanna schedule an induction next week.
Currently 37 wks & 6 Days 💙👶🏽
Honestly the most information we found in one video every other video is of ppl trying to make you do hand stands and all different things that my fiancé found silly or uncomfortable.
If I try to squat I will not be able to get back up.
Try doing mini squats on an exercise ball. That is a great way to do supported squats and keep your pelvis open ☺️
@@thehaleybarry thanks I appreciate your reply ill try it
I got two weeks left I’m due sept 14 with my first little one and I’m so nervous cause I’m still working and I don’t wanna get induced but I do want him to come just a little bit faste
My due date is september 13th expect for this is my 3rd first two are boys. This one is my girl, im beyond anxious. Hope everything goes well!
I’m due 19th with my first
Hoping she comes early 🤞🏼
My baby is due tomorrow trying to get the process going today lol
I’m due with my first on September 13th and I want him out fast too
I’m due on the 20th & but I already set up my inducement date for the 18th ..
I'm here now because it's my due date today! And midwife told me I need a membrane sweep next week! And I really dont wanna have that. I have dates, raspberry tea and also an exercise ball! So I'm doing all of these today! Haha. Fingers crossed 🤞 thanks for the info
Congrats!!! I’m due today. I’m gonna try these tips and see what happens
I’m 36 weeks with number 2 but we have a history of going over in the family and I did with my first and had to be induced. Even that barely worked to get him out lol so I figured I’d start a bit early
Did these work
37+6 today... booked to be induced at 38+3... trying desperately to go naturally before then!!!
Why are they inducing you?
Why are you being induced so early?
My due date was 4 days ago and I’m kind of mad. I feel like everyone gives birth by their due date but I’m left waiting until they threaten to induce me! Last time I was 41+1 and they scheduled me for an induction the next morning so I took the midwife brew (which worked!). I don’t want to HAVE to take it again but I’m starting to feel like that might happen. My parents and grandparents came out of state to see the baby and I’ll be mad if they have to leave before then, or it happens way at the end. Tomorrow I’ve got my midwife appointment so I may ask her if I could take the midwife brew already.
It’s so hard to wait. Some ladies just have naturally slightly longer gestation. I’m one of the them. All my babies were past 40 weeks. 41 + 1, 41+3 and 41+5. First one was induction and last two were all natural. Hang in there mama 🥰
@@thehaleybarry Thankfully I went into labor on my own at 40+5! I’m glad I didn’t have to take the drink. It was a lot less painful this time.
@@clairet5636 yayyyyy!! You did it. Congrats mama!!
Im due today and no sign of my baby wanting out yet. With the raspberry leaf tea my midwife recommended at 36 weeks for 1 cup of tea a day and then at 37+ 2 cups and then i got recommended to shove a evening primrose oil capsule with a pin hole in it up my tush and leave it over night.
Due nov 12! I’m 38 weeks and I’m readyyyyy my back pain is too much!
Ugh ik about back pain! 40 weeks now been doing prenatal back pain yoga! It’s super simple and really helps.
Im due September 11... not even dilated. I have been drinking raspberry leaf tea, eating 6 dates, and the evening primrose oil. She don’t want to come out 😂
Due date twins!
You got lots of time mama!!! I never dilate till I’m in actual labor so hang in there. ☺️💗🙏
I'm scheduled for a membrane sweep at my 38 week appointment due to issues with gestational diabetes. I'm 36 weeks right now. I've already been doing raspberry leaf tea and primrose oil vaginally. I'm going to talk to my midwife about the midwife's brew. Maybe I can do that the morning of the induction to help with the membrane sweep. She mentioned starting me on pitocin if the membrane sweep doesn't start my labor and I would like to avoid that if I can!
Hope these tips help you! CONGRATS
I tried evening primrose oil. I didn’t take it regularly but I took it orally at 36 weeks and the next day my water broke at 8am I also had GD so I’m not sure if it actually put me into labor or if it was the GD or just genetics but it was definitely a coincidence. I was running off no sleep when my water broke and I labored for 17 hours and at the end I hadn’t slept in over 48 hours
Sounds exhausting mama but you did it!!!
Congrats I have GD too how did you take the primrose where did you get it?
I'd be so angry after like 8 to grab someone and be like GET IT OUT in a way to put the fear of God in them but that's just me
Great tips I am overdue looking to be induce September 21 I really want her to come before then
40+1 and can't wait any longer
I needed this thank you so much 💕
You are very welcome!!
I'm due in 2 days, hope bub comes out before that 😌
37 weeks and 4 days. Bubs is engaged in my pelvis and I’ve felt lightening crotch but no braxton Hicks :(
Hoping baby girl comes soon, feeling veryyyyy uncomfortable !
