3 weeks tomorrow

[mumto2bubs]

I am booked in for a c section on 4th August, I'll be 39 +3.

I've had two vaginal normal deliveries at 42 weeks both inductions dd1 7lb 2, dd2 7lb 11oz . 1 emergency c section at 42 weeks induction. Stubborn baby wouldn't come. Dd3 8lb 13oz.

Last time was planned c section at 39 weeks. Main,y because they don't like to induce, after section., and he was a big boy at 9lb 2 a week early x

im praying I go into labour on my own,as if I do they will let labour progress itself and won't intervene, however will gave to be monitored, but realistically I know this won't happen.


If anyone has any tips to kick start labour that aren't the usual ones, I'd love to hear them. Btw I've tried everything with previous pregnancies to no avail.

Getting really excited to see my wee bubs face now 👶🏼💙💗

I think staying as active as possible is a good one. But I know that if baby is stubborn then they just won't come! But good luck ! Eeeek it is exciting! x

Running about after a 19 month old keeps me very active lol. Plus I have all 4 of my kids at home with me every day at the moment as school is off! Lol.

We will see if it makes a difference x

Omg , where has this pregnancy gone too! Just three weeks left for you!!
I 'm clueless on labour as you know but hope someone mentions a miracle for you!
How about bouncing on a preg ball all day long!!!

My midwife mentioned nipple stimulation (min 15 minute periods) ,and sex as the stuff the sperm swims in is the same hormone they use to induce ladies. So basically, your partner needs to get you to bed for foreplay and sex several times a day, lol. Good luck x

With my last pregnancy i craved pineapple , i was eating everything pineapple i could get my hands on , my midwife told me i had to stop eating it as it can induce labour , so if you haven't already ... try to eat lots of pineapple lol x
