Can I do something to cause labor?

I am so tired and done being pregnant. Sex and nipple stimulation doesnt work. I have been dialated 1 cm for 3 weeks. not due for another 4.

Answer #1

Your not due for another 4 weeks…so your only 8 months along. Its selfish to brn your baby into this world when they are not ready and not completely developed. I know pregnancy is hard, especially towards the end, but the safest place for your baby right now is inside of you. There are things to help progress labor…not bring it on and cause it. Walking and sex mainly.

Answer #2

this is my 5th and final, I am fully ready, my mind is gone, and Mentally stayin pregnant may be more harmful than good. My babies were all induced except for last one who came late.. but I know what your saying is true.

Answer #3

Youve had 4 kids before dear so you know, if you love your child you will endure a few more weeks before you hae him/her. Talk to your doctor..some will induce a week early, some wont though. Its never easy being pregnant…especially at the end. Remember though, this is your last…youll never experience the good parts of being pregnant again…embrace and enjoy it. If you havent taken pregnancy pictures…take them now. If you havent done a belly cast…do one now…its your last chance. Although your miserable now, youll miss this.

Answer #4

probably true seeing as I keep getting pregnant….lol

Answer #5

The mintue you decided to keep the baby, you decided to take full responsibility, Being pregnant is one of the things you agreed to follow through with when you decided to keep it. Dont half-ass things.

Answer #6

umm i think your baby’s much safer inside of you. wouldn’t you rather the baby be safe and healthy ? and it’s only a few more weeks, you should manage =]

Answer #7

Walking

Answer #8

You shouldn’t even consider trying to begin your labor until you are around 40 weeks pregnant or overdue. That’s because your due date could be inaccurate by a few weeks, and if you start your labor before 40 weeks, you might give birth to the baby before he is ready to thrive outside the womb. But if you are at least 40 weeks you could try spicy food, some people swear that it was that extra-hot enchilada from their favorite Mexican restaurant that brought them face to face with their new baby. Unfortunately, the statistics are out on this one. You could try it, but if you have a full stomach when you are in labor, you might vomit and see that enchilada again–in less-than-appetizing circumstances. Like what lovelaughlive said you could walk more.

There’s also blue and black cohosh, These herbs are used often to induce labor. They may be particularly effective if you are having weak or irregular contractions. Blue cohosh is believed to make uterine contractions stronger, while black cohosh may regulate the contractions. Together, they work to make contractions more effective. Unfortunately, no studies have determined that these natural treatments are safe, or whether all versions of the herb available for purchase are of equal potency. Be sure to discuss any herbal treatment with your practitioner before attempting it, to see if it is a good idea in your situation.
