Bouncing on a ball !! Drink lots of water and have lots of sex!! Worked for me!! But everyone is different!

I'm due on the 19th as well with no labor symptoms and wondering this same question 😩

I walked a lot! 6000-8000 steps a day. Lifted weights and did the yoga ball exercises the night I went into labor. Acupuncture and acupressure at the 5 specific points will help as well.

Lots of bouncing on a ball helps

What helped me is a membrane sweep when I was already dilated, literally went into labor at night !

Also due the 19th been having contractions for a couple weeks now but my cervix won’t dilate it’s driving me nuts

Bouncing on ball
Miles circuit
Brisk walking
Drink water
Try to relax

I was due on the 19th and had my baby on the 10th I had walked 5 miles 3 days before I went into labor I feel like that what kick started it

Raspberry leaf tea
Lots of walking
Club walking

I am due oct 20 and no symptoms.

Membrane sweep!

Just tell your doctor you want to get induced there’s a thing called elective induction

When I got it I told my doctor the pregnancy was just starting to take a toll on my mental health but I also had a good doctor as well

Very caring an attentive

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?
